Info for XC Parents & Boosters

Family, Friends & Boosters of Drury Cross Country Runners:

Our athletes have now started not only practice but also their fall semester of classes. We are looking forward to a chance to compete and hope to improve on last year’s good results. Our first cross country meet will be September 9 in Rolla at the UMR Miner Invitational. The meet schedule is on the drury.edu website, and the team roster is posted online, as well. Results from our meets will be included on the cross country web page as the fall season continues. I also plan to post updates on our Drury Running web blog.

Any support you can give to the cross country team during the season would be appreciated. As a fund raiser, we have running t-shirts(short-sleeved white tee’s w/ Drury Panther logo in sizes youth large thru adult XL) available for $25. Our other fund-raising efforts will include the Drury Auction Benefiting Athletics on October 14.

I am looking forward to spending time with each of the students on the team and seeing them grow as individuals and athletes. We will be competitive and challenge some of the best teams in our conference and region. If you have any questions about the team or about the location of any meets or wish to order a t-shirt, please call me on campus at (417)873-7567. I hope to see you in person at our races supporting our outstanding runners.
