Duluth East Cross Country

Please Finish registering for CC. A handful need physicals(I will be emailing them later today) most need MSHSL form filled out and nearly all need to pay the $185 school fee. We are also hoping most will pay the $30 assessment to help cover miscellaneous costs like coach buses, etc..

To register you will need your students new password. To get that you will need to fil out the blended learning form. Then parents can find their athletes new password on the Infinite campus page or by calling the office.

Practice cancelled due to lightning. Get out for a short/medium run today if and when you can. Long run will move to Thursday and Time trial will not be held Friday. Practice Friday for all students 8am.

This is the training plan leading into sections. If you are able to be at practice you should be. That is the expectation. Section runners are apart of a team. Be there if at all possible. If not follow this to the best of your ability. This plan helps develop speed and intensity while allowing enough recovery to be fast. You all want to be fast. This will help you get there. Your team needs all of you to be ready. Mr. Kyes
