Dear Runners and Parents,
We have one more week of summer practice before camp! We will have an informational parents' meeting on Wednesday, August 5th, at 6 pm at Creekside Elementary. This meeting will cover all aspects of the season. If your student-athlete plans on running this fall, please try to attend.
At the meeting, you will be able to make payments toward some of the season costs. I will be collecting camp payments, team fees, uniform fees, and there will be some older spirit wear on sale. I will take cash, check(Hartland Schools), and Venmo. Possible Season Costs
Please park in the Creekside bus loop/teacher lot and enter through the door labeled 34. The meeting will cover all information for the season, including camp.
FINAL FORMS = Please make sure all forms are signed in FinalForms. The original sign-up should take about 20 minutes for parents and 5 minutes for athletes. Please see the FinalForms Link or the attached document for signing up. You can check my SEASON CHECKLIST to see if you are registered for Final Forms. (Some physicals have been uploaded but are unreviewed, so I should add those in next week.)
Physical
Athletes will be required to have a physical dated after April 15th, 2026, to run this year. Please plan accordingly.

Please fill out the nutrition form ASAP so I can send it by Tuesday(Attached)
Please fill out the Medication form and send it with your child to camp(Attached)
XC Camp Dietary Concerns Sheet = I have attached the Dietary Concerns sheet for camp. This is for those with allergies or who are Gluten-Free, etc. There will be a salad bar this year. I am hoping to have the menu this week.
XC CAMP Medications: I have also attached the Medications sheet, which must include a doctor's signature for any medications that need to be administered at camp. This includes over-the-counter medications. Please make sure you have this sheet with medications when you arrive at camp.
XC Season Over-the-Counter Medication Form = I have attached a medication form that allows me to give your athlete the over-the-counter medication you indicate on the form.
MILEAGE NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO ATTEND CAMP
Logging miles can help keep you healthy and is an integral part of our program.
Strava Club = If an athlete uses Strava for all their runs, they will not have to log their miles. I will log for them.
SUMMER RUNNING SCHEDULE = I have updated the Summer Running Schedule. The last day of summer running will be Friday, August 7th. We will meet at Island Lake (Spring Mill Pond) to run, and kids can swim and play games afterward. We will meet at 9 am.
Communication
I will be sending emails most weeks, updating the mileage log, and sending text messages throughout the summer. Please make sure you are receiving both text messages and emails. Use the link below to sign up for emails and the info to sign up for text messages. Please let me know if you would like to be removed from this distribution list.
