Hillside XC

Practice Info:

• Practice every school day from 2:45-4:00 (meet in front of school, facing Hill Rd.)

• We run on and off campus. Through the foothills and the neighborhoods. 

• A water bottle is a requirement, not a suggestion. Runners cannot participate without their own bottle each day. Sharing is not an option. It will be over 100 degrees some days!

• Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and lightweight clothing are highly recommended

Meet Info: 

• Meets are once a week (with a few optional races for runners to add if they wish)

• August 24th is the first meet. Students must have 10 practices completed before competing in races

• Meets start at 3:30 pm

• There are two races at each meet: 7/8th grade boys race together and 7/8th grade girls race together, but their times will be separated into grade level for scoring purposes

• Boys’ and girls’ race alternates every meet. One group will start at 3:30. The other group starts when the first race is finished (usually around 4). Then they flip flop the next week for who goes first. 

• Race results will be posted to Athletic.net (there is an app for it too that makes it easy)

• Snacks/drinks have been organized by parents in years past for the kids on meet days. Would love it if that continued!
