 Practices are held on Mondays at 3:20, Wednesdays at 3:20 and Fridays at 1:50 and last about 60 minutes. Students who have other activities are encouraged to come for part of our run and leave early if needed.  If you have conflicts with other sports all you need to do is communicate this to Mr. Saunders in Portable 5 or e-mail him at  bobjsaunders@hotmail.com.  Students need to attend practices when their schedule allows.

 The Cross Country Fee will be $25 this year.  This covers the School User Fee and a T-Shirt.

 For competition grade 8 boys and girls will run 2km,   grade 9 -12 girls will run 4 km, grade 9 – 12 boys will run 6 km.

 Our first meet will take place on September 22nd at Pioneer Park .  This will be hosted by Dover Bay and NDSS. There will be several other opportunities to run in meets before the Island Meet, which is on October 25th in Victoria at Beaver Lake .

 It is important that students have a good pair of shoes to run in.  This will help avoid some running injuries.  It is also important that students wear appropriate clothing to practice.

 Remember success is a journey, not a destination.
