Parents/Athletes please see the tab above titled NXRSW 2025 for info on our TEAM trip down to Arizona to compete at Nike Cross Regionals. This is an opportunity open to all members of the team. Please reach out to Brandt or Rouse if you have any questions.
Iron/Ferritin Check-up
If you have not had your ferritin levels checked since the end of track season please consider doing so soon. We recommend having your ferritin levels checked at a minimum of twice a year: Once after the track season, and once after XC season. If the last time you had your levels checked was sometime in 2024, getting in before the school year starts would be a good idea.
You can consult with your physician first or order directly from a lab. Info on ordering direct
Below is information about the importance of iron/ferritin for distance runners.
A ferritin level of 30 is the minimum number acceptable for adequate performance as a distance runner. Please come talk to the coaches if you have questions.
Shoe Check
Reminder that as a general rule of thumb, your shoes will need to be replaced every 300-500 miles. There's a lot of variation depending on the brand/model, but please be proactive in recognizing when you think you need new shoes. We know that a good pair of running shoes can be expensive, but it's better to be safe rather than put too many miles on them and risk injury.
