We would like to welcome Coach Bradham, he is coming to us from Peach County where he has coached XC there for several years. We are all looking forward to a great season.

Regular practice will begin for all high school runners on August 4th at 4 pm. These practices are mandatory for all runners and will be finished at 5:45. The first few practices could be a little shorter. Remember you must have an up to date physical before you can even show up to practice. Middle School will begin regular practice on August 19th I will get more information to you after school starts.

This years schedule has been made, but depending on other schools meets we could add one or two more. Also this year Coach Cranford at Bleckley County is in the process of coordinating a middle school championship for middle Georgia. We have had several schools call to let us know that they will be here for our meets, Bleckley, Baldwin, Warner Robins, Dublin, and Griffin.

There will be a booster club meeting on August 21st. We need as many of your parents to attend. We will discuss any fund raising events, the meets, and go over any information that they will need to know. As of now we are planning to have 3 meets at home again this year. Hopefully they will be a little bit dryer then lasts years.

High school uniforms will be ordered ASAP for thost who do not have them they normally run around $40.00. Middle school we will supply you with the shirt $5.00 rent this is to be returned at the end of the season. Shorts are to be black you will have to purchase these on your own.

You will also need to have a good pair of running shoes. there are several brands to choose from some of the brands are New Balance, Asics, Addidas, and Nike. A few things to look for is comfort and weight. The lighter the shoe the better. Buy the correct size don't buy to grow in to. A good website to look up shoes is WWW.Runningtimes.com, Septembers magazine rewiewed several shoes.

I am looking forward to a great season, and hope that you are too. If you have any questions you can mailto:[email protected]

Take care and run hard
