Practice Starts August 16/First Week

Our first team meeting will be Saturday August 16 at 7 am at the Training Room for those freshmen runners who still need to turn in medical paperwork and need to get their physicals done. All returning runners MUST turn in the medical paperwork (medical history and insurance info) with the trainers on Saturday by 4:00 pm to participate in practice at 4:30 pm. Every runner (all returning runners and freshmen) must complete and have on file with the trainers a new medical history form and insurance form/card every year. Sickle cell tests on file from previous years are sufficient. Freshmen must additionally complete a "consent to treat" form.

Our first running practice will be Saturday August 16 at 4:30 pm at the Fitness Center. If possible I will try to hand out training shoes and backpacks then. The rest of our gear should be available within a week or two after practice starts.
