    Practice Information:
    • First Practice: Thursday, August 6, 4:00-5:30. If you can't make it to the first practice, you can still start at a later time. Please e-mail the coaches and let them know that. 
    • Practice runs Monday-Friday 4:00-5:30 pm.
      • Runners who are attending in-person class meet by the wall of sports pictures and go to the locker rooms by the main gymnasium. 
      • Runners who are virtual will need to be dropped off at 4:05 outside of Gate 5 dressed and ready to run. A coach will meet them there. 
    • **If the physical form and RankOne forms are not turned in, Coach Olson and Coach Mueller can NOT let your runner participate in any practices. 
    • All student-athletes must have these three items to practice during the 2020 season:
      • Face Mask w/Ziploc Bag - All runners must have a face mask. This face mask will be worn during warm-ups and cool-downs (stretching). The only time the runner will not be wearing the mask is during the actual workout. If a runner shows up with no face mask, that runner will not be allowed to practice. 
      • Water Bottle - This is just as important as the face mask. EVERY runner needs to have their own water bottle. Please make sure it holds at least 32 oz of water. The water fountains are all turned off this year at the school. In some ways, this is good because, during the school day, there's no excuse for any of them to be dehydrated for practice. Water bottles are allowed to be carried throughout the day. There is no sharing of any water bottle. This is a hard and strict rule that will be enforced. If your runner does not have his water bottle for a day, that runner will not practice since they will not have any fluids to re-hydrate during practice. 
      • Small/Personal Bottle of Hand Sanitizer - doesn't matter the brand. Please just make sure each runner has their own bottle for their own personal use.
