Welcome to the Middle School Cross County 2023 Season! 

The focus for this season will be to create a lifelong passion for running through fun activities in and out of the woods, focusing on the fundamentals of running and technique. Running is an amazing sport that is the foundation of all others. Our goal at the end of the season is for each athlete to look back on their season and say they had fun and improved in their running abilities. As we approach practices, races, and school this semester, athletes will be charged with showing and building on the Miner Way of respect, responsibility, and integrity through our amazing team.

Assistant Coach -Jill Anderson Contact info: janderson@telluride.k12.co.us

Reminders: 

1. Athletes must have proper paperwork and registration to attend practice

2. Students must have a physical before attending practices 

** These are TMHS policies and no athlete will be allowed to practice until all registration and paperwork is complete. 

3. Each athlete needs to attend at least 3 practices BEFORE they attend the first meet of the season!

Races

Due to Telluride's geographic location, students who compete will miss a decent amount of school. Races are not mandatory, but highly encouraged. Races are a time where students can gauge the success of their training, meet new friends and create stronger relationships within their team. Athletes MUST speak to their teachers (as part of our Miner Way of responsibility) before they miss school for meets and are highly encouraged to bring the class work they missed with them. If a student feels that they are falling behind, I highly encourage them to discuss this with their coaches. We would be more than happy to support them with their academics!  

Expectations: 

Daily Necessary Gear

1. Athletic Apparel 

2. Running Shoes

3. Water Bottle 

4. Pre/Post practice healthy snack

5. Food for after practices/races 

***These are the necessary items to support your child's success! Please make sure they have them!
