Welcome 7th Graders, Newcomers, and Parents
As the Head Cross Country Coach, I welcome you to the team. My goal is not just to develop wonderful athletes, but develop well-rounded upstanding individuals. This sport is as much about life as it is a competition. As the late Steve Prefontaine once said, "To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift" I hope you enjoy the upcoming season. I can't wait to see all of your new faces.

Important Info
PARTICIPATION
WEBSITE
- In order to "fully" participate you will need to have your Sports Physical Form (good for 3 years) turned into the HS office.
- It is preferred that you fill out Eligibility Forms and pay the Activity Fee online.
- Click here for info on Fee Pay and MSHSL Forms
- All athletes will be provided with a team uniform and warm-ups for the season (to be turned in at the end of the season).
- The main piece of equipment that you will need is a "good" pair of running shoes as we will be putting on 150+ miles throughout the season. A good pair of running shoes will help you to run better and more importantly will help prevent injuries. A lot of the injuries we get in XC can be avoided by having appropriate shoes.
- I recommend going to a running specialist store if at all possible. The most popular store is one in St. Paul on 868 Randolph Ave. called "Run N Fun". http://www.rnfun.com At this store they will be able to analyze your foot and suggest what type of shoe to get. The other benefit of going to this store is that if you tell them you are a high school athlete they will give you a 20% discount!
- If you can't make it to a running specialist store, talk to me and I may be able to help evaluate your feet.
- Some of you may also be interested at looking at "spikes" (racing shoes you screw metal spikes into) but they are not necessary for JH.
WEBSITE
- I hope you take time to look over the rest of the website for other valuable information. There is a wide variety of info. Probably the most popular is the Schedule and Results page. If you have any questions please contact me by any method listed below (I even text if that is how you prefer to communicate).
