Welcome to the inaugural year of our Sixth Grade Cross Country program! Any and all 6th grade students interested in running are welcome. Whether you are already a runner, you would like to become a runner, or you simply want to get in shape for another sport, we welcome you. Invite your classmates to be a part of the only organized school sport you can be a part of this year.
This program will be run like a club sport, meaning that you will not have to pay the standard pay to play fee. The cost of participation is $50 per athlete. This fee will cover the salary of a coach, the cost of a team T-shirt, and the cost of meet entries for the team. Team members must still comply with district athletic policies. Practice begins September 2. Athletes should bring shorts, a t-
shirt, running shoes, and a water bottle to practice. The team will meet by the large oak tree behind the junior high school at 2:45. All paperwork will be provided to athletes at this time.
Athletes will participate in practice for 1 hour 3 times a week and will have the opportunity to compete in the following meets:
SEC Jamboree #1 — September 10
Monroe Jefferson Invitational — September 20
SEC Jamboree #2 — September 24
SEC Jamboree #3 — October 8
Dave Bork Classic — October 11
Michigan Mega Jamboree — October 19
