4 - RACE SWEEP BY BOULDER HIGH!!!
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This past Thursday was one of those glorious days where the conditions were perfect, the course was fast, and our kids came ready to RUN. I still have an adrenaline buzz from it. Our kids competed with such commitment to their team, and to themselves and it resulted in great performances. Unfortunately, the Boulder Daily Camera dropped the ball (or shoe) and did not send a reporter so the article did not do our kids justice. It was an awesome meet for Boulder High!
To start the week we had some super efforts from our 9th and 10th graders. They competed mightily in an unfortunately slow and poorly marked course. We are really proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to the next 2-3 years with this crew as they develop and lead our team. Notice the updated Meet Times which is attached, highlighting their times throughout the season.
We have a big week ahead of us, and I think the Regional Meet will springboard our team into another week of super performances. I have attached the Parent Plan for the State Championship. This gives a lot of details of where we are staying in Fort Collins, along with how to get to the course, and our post meet plans for runners and parents. I need to give a number of people eating at Canino's after the race. Could you let me know how many of your family will attend (not including your runner child)? The meal will cost $11/per person and the runners meals will be covered by the school. I am encouraging all A runners to come be involved at the State Meet, and their meal at Canino's will also be covered that day. It was a great celebration last year, and a fitting way to wrap up the day so I hope you can make it on Saturday.
If your child is done racing for the season, we are going to try and collect uniforms from those still missing on Tuesday afternoon right after school. Thanks for reminding them to bring the uniform in and meet at the cross country closet that day.
We are already doing the planning for the Fall Sports Recognition Ceremony, and hope you can all make it. The date is Sunday, November 15 at 4:00 p.m. starting in the auditorium. We will break off to a cross country celebration in the cafeteria, and we will honor the seniors, award winners (kid voted and representing the whole team), and have something special for each runner. Please join us in celebrating a great team.
Schedule for the week:
Wednesday: Runners will meet at Lefthand Trailhead at 3:40 and will be done by 4:45.
Friday: Runners will do their pre-race workout at school then change and grab their bag for the trip to Fort Collins.
Go Panthers!!!

Program overview
Cross Country is a terrific sport for people of all abilities. It is a no-cut sport where some people get to showcase their terrific running talent, while others may use the season to get in shape for another sport or to connect with a great group of people. The coaches will be committed to creating workouts and an atmosphere where the goals of all the athletes are met. Workouts will be individualized based on fitness level, caliber of racing, previous running experience, and goals for the season. Every year the cross-country team is composed of students who tend to have high grades, participate in a broad array of extra-curricular activities, and invest in both their sport and the people on the team. Boulder High has an illustrious tradition of producing some of the best distance runners in the state.
