Early Gear Orders/Girls State Champions Shirts
Gear orders for the spring are now available through Denver Athletic Company until Sunday, January 20th. Once the site closes you will not be able to order gear again until the season starts. If you wait until the second gear order there is no guarantee that your order will come in before the end of the season. All gear is optional to order.

Iron/Ferritin Check
If you have not already had your iron/ferritin levels checked by your doctor since the end of the cross country season, please make sure you do so in the next few weeks. Please refer to last June's blog post about the importance of iron and ferritin for distance runners for more information.
It is the coaching staffs recommendation that all runners on the team (both boys and girls) be taking an iron supplement that works for you as an individual.
New Running Shoes at Runner’s Roost Lone Tree
Please ensure that you have appropriate running shoes at all times. If you need to purchase a
pair of shoes and have no idea what may be best for you it is a good idea to visit Runner’s Roost in Lone Tree who specializes in running shoes and apparel. Not everyone has the same type of foot. Some people have high arches, some flat feet, some pronate, and the list goes on. The Roost specializes in running shoes and is able to suggest the correct shoe for your type of foot, foot motion, and event. The correct shoe will assist your efforts and help prevent injuries.
