Just a reminder that the cross country banquet is Thursday, Nov. 18, at 6:30 p.m. at Cornerstone Fellowship Church. Thank you to Clay Willis for generously donating the use of his church for the event and to Paul Molinaro for creating the end of season video.

The coaches have been compiling a list of items each runner volunteered to bring and I will email that out tomorrow as a reminder. If you have not yet signed up to bring something you can do so at that time.

Thursday, Nov. 18

Pasta Party Friday!

Colton and I are hosting a pasta party on Friday evening to carbo-load our runners and celebrate a great season. I hope your runner will be able to attend! Younger runners can carpool with older runners that drive if rides are needed. Runners should be picked up between 8 and 8:30 p.m.

Your runner doesn't need to bring anything but their appetite! Please email me at whsxc07@gmail.com and let me know if your runner will be attending so I can ensure we have enough food.

My house is about 15 minutes south of WHS. Please email whsxc07@gmail.com if you'd like the address and directions.

I hope your runner can attend!

Schedule Changes and Call for Snack and Beverage Donations

We have changes to the race schedule (see below for an updated schedule). The Border Clash has been cancelled and the Warpath Invitational will likely be changed to the Cartersville Classic.

Snack Duty.
Please note that I have included the names of parents that have signed up for snack duty in the updated schedule as a reminder. We have several races that still need parents to help with snacks -- please email whsxc07@gmail.com to sign up. Kathleen Webb will be making reminder calls -- thanks Kathleen!

Our Runners Need Water and Gatorade.
During the parent's meeting, Coaches Tuttle and Forbes asked for donations of bottled water and Gatorade. We have significant need for these items and have received very few donations to date. Please send a cash donation or a minimum of a case of water or Gatorade (12 oz bottles) with your child next week. Water and Gatorade can be delivered to Coach Tuttle's room before school or given to coaches after practice.

We need everyone's help to make this an enjoyable and successful season for our runners. Thank you in advance for your support!

And They're Off!

It was a gorgeous day for a run and our Wildcats didn't disappoint. Congratulations to all 14 runners!

Parent's Meeting Highlights

Thanks to all of you who were able to attend tonight's parent meeting. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities left available, so please get involved. Coaches Forbes and Tuttle have plenty on their plate -- please donate some of your time to help out the team this season!

If you haven't already done so, please turn in your runner's participation fee of $50 to either coach. Freshman will also need to pay $50 for their uniform. Make checks payable to WHS XC Boosters.

Runner's are requested to participate in this Saturday's Bookin' It for the Friends of the Library 5K. The race will serve as the time trial for the start of the season. The entry fee is $15 before August 14. After August 14 the cost goes up to $20. The race starts at 8 a.m. at the Woodland cross country course. Learn more or download the registration form>>

The team needs each family to donate at least one case of water and/or gatorade this season. Beverages can be dropped off before or after school to Coach Tuttle in room B201.

Please download the transportation form. I encourage you to print out several copies and keep them in your glove compartment. You will need to turn these into your runner's coach so you can drive them home from meets.
