Thank you to all the parents that helped make our banquet a success on Friday night. It was a special event and great to see so many families in attendance. The coaches really appreciate the gifts that were passed along, especially the photo books. Pictures of the team throughout the season are always our favorite things to receive. We are very grateful to have such amazing memories to carry with us for years to come.

Pre-Season Track Info
Pre-Season Athlete Track Meeting and Winter Conditioning
The pre-season track meeting has been changed to Wednesday, November 14th right after school (3:00). It will be in a room TBD at MVHS. Two things that will be different about this winter:
     1) Student-Athletes will need to pay $50 for the 3 month off season conditioning program this year. 
     2) We will start official off season conditioning for track this year on December 3rd. We will also schedule some runs during winter break for the kids to be able to meet and have people to run with. Seniors will be asked to lead some of these practices during finals week and during winter break. 

Mileage Club T-Shirts for Winter Conditioning
We will do mileage club T-Shirts (just like we did during the summer) again this winter. T-Shirts will be awarded to anyone who runs the following miles between the dates of December 3rd to March 3rd :
     200 miles
     300 miles
     400 miles
     500 miles
     600 miles
I will post and hand out workout logs to people before December 3rd. Anyone that wants to earn a mileage club shirt will need to log their miles during the winter. I am looking into online options to do this instead of pencil and paper. 

Time off after XC
Everyone on the team regardless of running varsity, open, or JV should take 2 weeks off from running before returning to consistent training again. If you are ready to start running again before December 3rd go out and do 30 to 40 minutes, 6 to 7 days a week. You are welcome to join us at the NXN practices if you would like so that you have a TEAM to run with. 

Individual Goal Setting Meetings
Anyone wishing to sit down with me to plan out goals for the upcoming track season is encouraged to do so. I will be happy to sit down and talk with anyone on the team about track goals you may have. All you need to do is email me or talk to me at practice to set up a time. jhdalby@dcsdk12.org

Vista Nation XC Christmas Party
Mark your calendars for Friday December 21st. This will be the date of our second annual Vista Nation XC Party at Brooke Smetanka's house. Details to come. Thanks a ton Mr. and Mrs Smetanka for hosting again this year!
