Spirit Week and Last Two Weeks to KingCo

The team has some fun traditions planned this week as we head towards the last regular season meets. The themes for each day are listed below in the practice schedule. Our last league meet is on Tuesday and details will be emailed through final forms. The KingCo 4A/3A/2A/1A Championship meet is on Saturday October 25th and marks the end of the regular season. Only the varsity teams will be required to practice after this date if they qualify for the District Meet on October 31st. Cooler and damp weather requires sweats and rain jackets at practice and meets. Make sure it's packed!

Cross Country General Information for Practices During the School Fall Season

If parking inside the park a Discover Pass is required to avoid a ticket. You can purchase passes at the kiosk within the park ($10/day) or ($30/yr) online HERE. We meet at the picnic tables along the cricket field on your left as you enter the park. Drop off is ok and carpooling is encouraged.

  • Ensure parents/guardians and athlete have completed all required tasks in Final Forms and are ready for the season.
  • Athletes that are not cleared for practice will not be able to participate as per school and WIAA rules and will be sent home.
  • Athlete Physicals must be sent to the athletic office to be entered into Final Forms. Please do not give to coaches. If an athlete does not have a current physical on file they may attend practice to hear information but may not participate in any other way.
  • Attendance will be taken every practice. A minimum of 7 practices are required for a student to compete in a meet. 5 practices are required for 9/6 jamboree meet. Athletes without the minimum practices may still attend a meet but can not wear a uniform nor warm up with the team. They will be assigned a separate workout which will count as a practice.
  • Email the coach 24hrs in advance if athlete will be missing practice to avoid an unexcused absence.
  • High School Sports is a big commitment we expect athletes to make every reasonable effort to attend practices.

Things to remember for practice​:

  • Athletes should have proper running shoes in good condition as evaluated by coaches.
  • Have a watch for tracking time. Phones are not allowed during practice. We will have a secure place for them.
  • Dress appropriately for the weather. Hot weather means running shorts, light weight cotton or synthetic shirt, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen. Cool/wet weather means sweats, light rain jacket, long sleeve running shirt, warm hat, dry shirt for after the workout.
  • Bring a water bottle with athlete's name on it. Water will also be provided on very hot days.
  • Eat a small snack an hour before practice or bring one for after practice.
  • In the event of inclement or hazardous conditions (e.g. smoke, lightning, heavy rain) the coach will send guidance as early as possible.
