▶️ Cross Country Update ⬅️
Message from Coach Bilderback:
The cross country season is rapidly approaching, and we have some administrative tasks to complete. The school needs to submit a prospective roster of students to MSHSA. If your child is in either 6th or 7th grade or has never run cross country before, I need you to contact me with the students full name, date of birth and graduation year.
Soon we will begin open runs, but before our first competition on September 3rd at Bolivar, all athletes need a minimum of 14 practices. To participate in an official practice, and have it count, the student must have a current sports physical.
MSHSAA physicals are good for 2 years. See this link for the current MSHSAA physical form:
