We hope to keep this page updated throughout the year so please check back often for the latest news. Information regarding registration and other sports are found on the IHS Athletic page https://inglemoor.nsd.org/athletics
This year's Ice Cream Social is Monday, JUNE 5th in the IHS cafeteria from 4:30-5:30pm. This is the team's spring recruiting event and is open to all students interested in finding out more about the sport of cross country. Meet future teammates and team captains, learn about summer conditioning opportunities, talk to coaches and our booster club parents. This event is free to current and incoming students to Inglemoor.
Please welcome our returning and new captains for the fall season: Malley Malone (Sr), Cate Bouvet (Sr), Joel Pratt (Sr), Justin Huang (Sr), Lily Bailey (Sr), Liam Gould (Sr), Aishwarya Vellala (Sr), Annie Taylor (Jr), Lucas Talbot (Jr). These athletes have shown great dedication to the team and are ready to assist the coaches in leading the team during practices and in competition. We look forward to watching them continue the fun and great traditions of Viking Cross Country.
Registration is now open for all sports in the next school year including summer conditioning. If your student is at all interested in cross country and track next season please register through Final Forms. Registering for sports will ensure that students and their families will receive any messages sent out via Final Forms by the coaching staff for that sport. Summer training sessions begin June 1st and end July 31st. Athletes and their parent/guardian must complete all forms and physicals must be current and may not expire before the end of the sport session or season.
Summer Conditioning: The three most important months in XC are June, July, August. These are the months when athletes should start to build their running base in preparation for the season. Although not mandatory we encourage students to attend if they are available. We meet 3 days/week-Tuesday/Thursday at Arrowhead ES, Wednesday on the IHS track from 8:30-10am. A coach will be present on Wednesdays and captains will lead when a coach is not available.
Running Camps to get ready for XC
Running camps are a great way to spend part of your summer. These are usually multiday events at locations that offer lodging, meals, and great running opportunities as well as a chance to meet runners from different schools. Coaches recommend signing up with a few of your teammates to make it more fun.
