NORTHWOOD HS 2019 XC

Dear 2019 XC & Track Athletes and Parents,

If you plan to be a member of the 2019 team, SUMMER PRACTICE is extremely important to the success of our team.  We have big plans for the upcoming season and hope you will be a part of our XC program!  The summer program is part of a 3 tier training system and we hope you will be able to commit to a daily training program.  In order for our athletes to be fit for the 2019 XC season it is vital all athletes begin their running during the summer time.  We understand many athletes will have other commitments like summer school, family vacations and other sport camps, but we expect all XC athletes to train during summer time with the team and individually when necessary. 

This year we will be running a 3-tier summer training:

1) 3 days a week training 

Starting on June 24th to July 3rd (Monday, Wednesday, Friday week#1 ; MTW Week #2) athletes are to train at 7am @ Northwood HS.  If you are available to meet with other teammates during this time period it is highly encouraged. This is the traditional starting period for fall XC at the high school level.  The Summer XC Camp will be run by the Head XC coaches during this time period.  The fee is $275 and should be submitted to the SAC as soon as possible. While the camp is not mandatory, it will be highly beneficial in terms of preparing you for the season, as well as helping you prepare for the time trial that will be held on August in order to be certain that all XC members are in sufficient shape to remain on the team.   More information on our Summer Camp will be coming soon in other emails.

2) 4 days a week training 

Starting July 8th to July 19th (7am - 9:30am). (Monday,Tuesday,Thursday,Friday) 

3) 5 days a week training 

Starting July 22nd to August 2nd. (7am - 9:30am).  (Monday - Friday) 

I hope to see you all on June 24th!  In the meantime, please check out our excellent website at www.NHSCrossCountry.org  The cross country page has a plethora of information and will be updated in the future, as more information becomes available.

Thank you and good luck with the summer training,

Coach Muniz
