Additional Notes From Meet Director
The dam is owned and maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers. Because of this, Redstone is being very strict about keeping people off the side of the dam (hill along the dam up to the top). Because of this, parents and spectators are not allowed on top of the dam. We will have volunteers helping to keep them off. DO NOT CUT THE COURSE AND GO UP THE HILL TO GET TO THE TOP! 

Vista XC Parents/Fans if you look at the Course Map above, they are asking spectators stay off the area of the course starting from the hairpin left turn just below Mile 1 through the right hand turn just before Grace Presbyterian Church.

Week 17 Notes
Thank you to all athletes/families for your flexibility on Friday afternoon at Dave Sanders. Track is a coin-flip with weather every week, but it is not very often that you'll see an XC meet get cancelled. We're glad some of our athletes got to sneak a race in!

Pat Patten is the final race of the "regular season" before we move into the Championship portion of the season (Leagues/Regionals/State/NXR). 

We will not have a race the weekend of October 10th, but we will have Saturday AM practice for our final workout before the League meet.

Looking a couple weeks ahead at Fall Break, we will have practice M-Sat @ 8 a.m. I will publish League Meet Info as soon as we receive it, but it will likely be a morning race like the past couple of years if that helps families plan any travel. 

We are still looking for a handful of athletes to go to the Elementary Feeder Schools to promote the race on morning announcements. 

Please see the Google Sheet to sign-up if you are a JR/SR with an off-period that could make it work.

Parents if you are able to assist with set-up next Thursday for the Elementary Feeder Race please see the Sign-Up Genius HERE.

To fundraise for the cost of running the League XC Champs, Coach Grant at TRidge created a gear order for the meet. All gear is OPTIONAL. Think of this like the pop-up T-Shirt stands that they have at XC meets during the regular season. 

Proceeds will go towards covering all expenses for running the meet.

We are fortunate enough to have incredibly stacked XC programs in our League, so that's where the BEST IN THE U.S. slogan comes from. October 14th is going to be as competitive of a meet as any League/District meet in the country!

Week 15 Notes
Racing after a full day of school is really challenging so kudos to all of our runners who competed at Arapahoe on Friday afternoon! 

The coaches are aware that this is Homecoming Week and while we support all of you wanting to get involved in evening activities we don't want that to take away from training. I promise that our goal will be to get you out of practice as soon as possible every day, but plan on being at practice until 5:00 unless we tell you otherwise. 

Homecoming usually brings the second wave of sickness for the season. Please do what you can to prevent sickness next week by washing your hands and getting lots of sleep. Running is hard enough, and running while sick is no fun. 

MRMS had their District Meet Saturday and swept both the Boys and Girls TEAM titles! If you see any of the Middle Schoolers running around campus this week make sure you congratulate them!! We're excited to see the next generation of Vista Nation XC in a couple years.

Week 13 Notes
Lots of incredible racing efforts to celebrate from the weekend! The coaches are proud of all the athletes for all the work you've been putting in since June and we hope that you can recognize some of your hardwork starting to pay off. Plenty of racing left!

Be prepared for some kind of lightning delay tomorrow afternoon. We are going to be optimistic and hope that the thunderstorms are after 5 p.m. but we will see. The plan is for Boelé to meet us at DeKoevend, but if it is unsafe to be outside then we would most likely move to Vista for treatment. As a reminder, Rouse and Boelé will stay as late as needed for anyone that wants treatment to receive it. Please bring a snack for after your run so that you aren't hungry and miserable while waiting for your turn to see Boelé. 

Our Annual Elementary Feeder Race registration is LIVE. We have sent out flyers to MVHS feeder schools, but spread the word if you know any families in the community that might be interested.

Please give yourself plenty of time to park. If the front lot is full the back lot should have more spaces available. 

Boelé will be at practice starting Monday afternoon. Athletes will be able to see Boelé for treatment before or after their run. You need a signed consent form from 2026 in order to receive treatment from Boelé. If you have given your paperwork to Rouse, you are all set, I will give it to Boelé on Monday. Depending on the number of athletes wanting treatment from Boelé, practice may extend beyond 5:00. Boelé and Rouse will stay as long as needed beyond 5:00 in order for everyone that wants treatment to bee seen. 

Boelé Consent Form (Due 8/17 Bring Paper Copy to Practice or Sign and send to Rouse)
List of Athletes Approved for Boelé Monday

We will check out uniforms to athletes on Monday/Wednesday at practice. Do not leave practice Wednesday without a uniform if you need one. We will race in green MVHS jerseys during the CHSAA season with black shorts. Varsity athletes will need have matching Tops/Bottoms for Regionals/State, but until then any plain black shorts will suffice. 

Monday at practice we will connect FR/SO athletes with a responsible JR/SR who can take them from Vista to the off-campus practice locations on Tuesday/Thursday (and the remainder of the season). We will have FR/SO athletes meet their driver in the front lobby of MVHS at the end of the school day. Email erouse@dcsdk12.org or jabrandt@dcsdk12.org with any questions.

Week 10 Notes
This Monday will mark the beginning of the CHSAA season. We are keeping Mon/Tues practice in the AM to avoid the heat. If you are unable to make morning please get the runs in on your own. Athletes please be prepared for storms Wed/Thurs/Fri. We won't keep anyone beyond 5 p.m. even if there are any lightning delays that keep us inside for the beginning of practice. If it's bad enough we will dismiss everyone from practice to go run inside on a treadmill at a gym or rec center.

Please make sure you have the following items for practice. Fall practice will operate just like summer practices, just in the afternoon.   

- Running Shoes
- Water Bottle
- Appropriate Running Clothes
- Running Watch (Bonus)

Please make sure you're hydrating and fueling appropriately throughout the school day. No food and water all day is a recipe for a disaster when you're running in afternoon heat. Switching to afternoon runs can screw up your routines from the summer, and may require some trial and error. 

For those of you bringing an extra bag for running clothes and shoes you can drop them off in either Coach Brandt's classroom (U310) or Selle's classroom at the beginning of the day and then collect them at the end of the day. 

We typically don't use the locker rooms to change out before practice. You can use any bathroom in MVHS that you feel comfortable changing in. Please be changed and be at the track by 3:10 every day that we are on-campus.
