Welcome to the 2025 Cross Country Season!
See below for important information!
October 20-24, 2025
That's a wrap on the JV team's season! I know many of you were hoping to finish off the season with a PR, but I want to remind you that cross country isn't about the time you run, but about how you compete in each race. I am proud of how many of you showed up yesterday and gave your best effort. It was warmer than last week when most of you smashed your standing PR's, but there's nothing to be disappointed about when you give yourself a chance and make the most of each racing opportunity you're given!
For the next couple of weeks, as the varsity teams prepare for the championship season, we will continue to meet for practice. JV runners are still welcome to show up for practice, but it is not mandatory. We will have a few more racing opportunities for the JV folks, so the season's not totally over if you want to keep training!
Schedule:
Monday: Interval Workout, Fairview @ 4:20 PM
Tuesday: Recovery Run, Fairivew @ 4:20 PM
Wednesday: Hill Workout, Fairview @ 6:30 AM
Thursday: Pre-Meet, Fairview @ 4:20 PM
Friday: Regionals
Saturday: Recovery Run, OYO (Varisty)// Spooky Mile (JV)

Meeting on Wednesday morning will allow for more recovery between the workout and Friday's race. Please dress warmly as mornings are quite chilly this time of year.
Regionals
The varsity will be competing on Friday, October 24th at Jeffco’s North Area Athletic Complex (19500 W. 64th Parkway, Arvada, CO 80403). To qualify for the following week's State Championship, we need to finish in the top 4 teams. The schedule is as follows:
7:00 AM- Bus Departs Fairview
8:00 AM- Coaches’ Meeting at Start
8:50 AM- 5A Girls (Run 9)
9:35 AM- 5A Boys (Run 9)
10:20 AM- 4A Boys (Run 9)
11:05 AM- 4A Girls (Run 9)
11:50 AM- Awards at the finish line
I will excuse everyone from racing for the day, but I encourage you to return to school to avoid falling behind in your classwork.
Spooky Mile
There is a racing opportunity for our JV folks to run a mile on the track at Niwot High School on Saturday, October 25th. Because this is being run during the season, I have to register athletes. If you wish to compete here, email me expressing your interest. Here is the meet information: https://co.milesplit.com/meets/706974-real-spooky-mile-2025/info. I think it could be a fun, unique race for anyone wanting to participate!
I look forward to seeing you again on Monday! Enjoy your weekend, but make sure you are prioritizing your sleep and nutrition!
Our mission is to build life-long runners who enjoy the challenges and rewards of self-discovery and growth through the lens of running. The sport does not have to be the only thing in our lives, quite the contrary, we should be using distance running to learn more about ourselves and how to handle trials and tribulations we might experince as students, employees, or even partners in a relationship. As my legendary college coach, Al Carius used to say: "Run for fun and personal bests."
Parents!
I get a lot of emails about missing communications because their child/children are not the best about communicating my weekly updates. You can use this website as a point of information, but if you also wish to be included on the weekly email updates, please fill out this form so we can make it happen!
