First Week of Practice

Our first athletic department student athlete meeting will be Monday August 20 at 2:00 pm. Meet at the O'Reilly Center to complete all necessary NCAA paperwork. The forms should have already been forwarded to you by email from Bryan Beatty.

Our first team meeting will be Monday August 20 at 5:30 pm at the Fitness Center. I'll hand out shoes, talk about the practice schedule, etc. At 6:00 pm cross country runners will be getting physicals and sickle cell testing done at the training room. Medical paperwork (history, consent forms and insurance info) must be on file with the trainers before getting a physical. Erin and Summer tell me "no paperwork, then no physical" which also means no practice.
