Week 7 Announcements (9/21/26 - 9/26/26)
September 20, 2026
Celebrations from Last Week
Shout-outs to everyone who participated in yesterday's service project! We are fortunate to have the state park next to our school as a place for our training runs, so it was great to give back a bit by cleaning up the Marina area. It's pretty impressive that we made it through that entire pile of mulch. Many hands, and shovels, make light work!
Coach Dusto's Notes
We are about halfway through our cross country season! This brings up a handful of points I wanted to talk about:
We have two end-of-year celebrations for cross country. The first is the pasta party before the League meet and/or the Friday afterwards (I need to make a better plan for this). This will be free to all runners and we will do some recognitions for the season as well as play some games to close out the season for non-varsity runners (after the League meet, only varsity runners and alternates continue with the team). We will hand out participation certificates for those runners who attended at least 80% of our practices and meets. This certificate gets you out of a 0.5 credit of PE once over your HS career. Our second banquet is on 11/3. At this banquet we will recognize award winners in a more formal setting. Award winners include varsity letter award winners, senior awards, and special awards. All athletes are welcome; those athletes who are receiving an award will get an invitation.
This leads to the second major point which comes up: how do I earn a varsity letter? There are a few ways to earn a varsity letter. The most common is that you run in the varsity division for 2/3 of the meets in the season. This shakes out to about 5 races in the varsity division. Additionally, if you ran a time that would have beaten 50% of the varsity division in a given race, that counts as if you had run varsity. For example, if you ran an 18:42 as a boy at the CC Invite or 22:50 as a girl, that would count as varsity (we had 4 runners that this would apply to). There are a few other ways that runners earn a varsity letter, including placing in the top 10 in the varsity division in a major meet or being on the varsity team that places in the top 3 at the regional meet. Usually no one places in the top 10 at a varsity race and isn't in our top 10 throughout the year, but runners will be on the regional team and earn a letter if the regional team does well enough (which is some incentive to stick around for our regional team!).
This brings me to my final point which is about Regionals and State. The Regional Meet is the Thursday AFTER fall break, but we will have practice throughout fall break for runners on that team. We are allowed to run 9 runners at regionals and will occasionally ask runners to be alternates for that team as well. The obligation is that you need to attend most of the fall break practices if you want to be eligible to be on the regional team. If our regional team places in the top four places at that race, we move on to the State Meet, which is on 10/31. That is the last CCHS race for the season, but Coach Swartz runs an off season program that will continue through NXR in November and is open to any athlete who wants to continue running. Talk with Coach Swartz about this opportunity if you're interested.
CCXC Week 7 Schedule
After-School Practice (9/21-9/24). After-school practice begins at 3:45 p.m. outside the IC cafeteria. We finish practice between 5:15 and 5:30 p.m. We split into three different training groups for distance days and two groups for workout days. Here is the tentative training plan for this week:
Pasta Party (Thursday, September 24). The team will walk together to the pasta party after Thursday's practice.

CCXC Week 6 Schedule
After-School Practice (9/14-9/18). After-school practice begins at 3:45 p.m. outside the IC cafeteria. We finish practice between 5:15 and 5:30 p.m. We split into three different training groups for distance days and two groups for workout days.
There is no race this week.
CCXC Service Project (Saturday, Sept. 19, 9:00-11:00am).
All runners are encouraged to attend, and family members are welcome as well. This event is a great opportunity for the CCXC community to give back to the state park where we train each week. We will be removing trash, pulling weeds, and spreading mulch.
CCSP requires all attendees to have a signed volunteer waiver on file. The waiver is a paper form, and we will send it home with athletes after Monday's practice. Please sign and return the form to a coach by Thursday's practice. If you are unable to have it signed beforehand, copies of the waiver will also be available at the event.
We'll meet at the Cherry Creek State Park Marina Parking Lot at 9am on Saturday morning.
The state park recommends that you bring a long-sleeve shirt, work gloves, water, and sunscreen. Tools and other supplies will be provided.
Thanks to the Booster Club, food will be provided for participants near the end of the event!

Week 5 Announcements (9/7/26 - 9/12/26)
Celebrations from Last Week
Who rang the PR Bell yesterday?! It was a solid week of practice, and the Bruins represented Creek well at Liberty Bell by racing hard and cheering on their teammates. Creek athletes' race times can be found here. Full meet results can be found here.
Liberty Bell is known for fast times, and many Creek athletes took advantage of the opportunity by running impressive season and personal bests despite the heat. Special shout-outs go to:
Brayden
Brynna
Chloe D
Claire
Gavin
Grant
Hannah
Liam
Lizzy
Malia
Michael
Peter
We have a shared Google Drive folder where parents and athletes can upload their favorite photos and video clips from the Liberty Bell meet. You can access the folder here.
Coach Dusto's Notes
Liberty Bell can be an interesting meet. There is a lot of pressure that people put on the race and it was VERY hot out there. Make sure that you remember that, moving forward, you might not best your time from Liberty Bell this season, but you can still have much better races. Racing in cross country is more about getting the maximum out of your body and competing well with your team versus just getting the fastest time possible.
PLEASE fill out the advanced approval notice before Wednesday is out if you want me to get you out of school. This will be ALL the frosh/soph racers. More info is below.
CCXC Week 5 Schedule
Optional Labor Day Practice (Monday, 9/7). Let's run in some cooler weather! We will meet at 7:30 a.m. at our usual IC spot to do a speed workout. And the Medlocks are going to host a team breakfast afterward!
After-School Practice (9/8-9/10). After-school practice begins at 3:45 p.m. outside the IC cafeteria Tuesday through Thursday this week. We finish practice between 5:15 and 5:30 p.m. We split into three different training groups for distance days and two groups for workout days. Here is the tentative training plan for this week:
Pasta Party (Thursday, 9/10). We will walk together to the pasta party after practice on Thursday.
Arapahoe Warrior Invitational at deKoevend Park (Friday, 9/11). The course map can be found here. Athletes should aim to arrive 90 minutes before their race start time. Please plan to stay after your race to cheer on your teammates and support the rest of the team.
Race Parking. Park in the neighborhoods to the east or west of deKoevend Park. You can also make a $5 donation to park at the church located at University and Josephine. A parking map can be found on this page.

The coaches will communicate with runners this week about which class periods they will be released from based on their race assignments.
Optional Saturday Practice (9/12). We will meet at the High Line Canal parking lot on Orchard just west of Colorado at 7:30 a.m. for a recovery/distance run.
Service Project
Our service project is coming up on the morning of Saturday, September 19, at Cherry Creek State Park. This event is open to athletes and their families.

Parking: Liberty Bell is the biggest race of the year in terms of the amount of runners. Unless you get there very early, you'll have to park in the neighborhood streets surrounding the high school.

Please plan on staying after your race to cheer on your teammates and support the rest of the team.
Race Schedule: Here is the full race schedule and live results link. We are in the Sweepstakes division.

We will have an optional practice on Monday (Labor Day) at 7:30 a.m. We will meet at the usual location. There will be no afternoon practice Monday.
Our service project is coming up on the morning of Saturday, September 19 at Cherry Creek State Park. This event is for athletes and their families. Details will be provided as soon as we confirm a few things. We do not have a race that week.
Celebrations from Last Week
What a great morning of cross country yesterday! Thank you to all the athletes and volunteers who made the race such a success. In total, we had 1,217 finishers, and we received a lot of positive feedback from the other schools. We couldn't have done it without all of you!
There are high-quality photographs from the event for sale here. We also have a shared Google Drive folder where parents and athletes can upload their favorite pictures and video clips from the race. You can access that folder here.
Creek athletes' race times can be found here. Full meet results found here.
Creek XC really showed up yesterday. The boys varsity team of Mason, Nicholas, Thomas, Brayden, Grant, and Michael raced to a first-place team finish! Bree also cruised to victory in the Sophomore/Freshman race, finishing 35 seconds ahead of the runner-up!
Many Creek athletes showed great progress on the CCXC course, improving their times from our time trial there just two weeks ago. Here are some of the largest gains. Way to go!
Kellan: 5:45 faster
Adeline: 3:57 faster
Hazel: 3:14 faster
Chloe D: 3:13 faster

Liberty Bell Invitational at Heritage High School (Saturday, 9/5). The course map can be found here. Athletes should aim to arrive 90 minutes before their race start time. It almost goes without saying that parking at most XC races is challenging, and Liberty Bell is no exception. Liberty Bell is the biggest race of the year in terms of amount of runners. Unless you get there very early, you'll have to park in the neighborhood streets surrounding the high school. Please avoid driving on Geddes between Elati and Windermere as the start line and course are on that section of road. Please plan on staying after your race to cheer on your teammates and support the rest of the team.
Race Times: If one of the coaches does not talk to you about running in the JV or Varsity race at Liberty Bell, you will be running in the Open race. Here is the full race schedule.
We are in the Sweepstakes division. This means that we are running:
Boys Varsity at 7:45
Girls Varsity at 8:15

Girls JV at 10:27
Boys Open at 12:07
Girls Open at 12:11
Coach Dusto's Notes for the Week
Make sure that you are doing everything that you can to eat, sleep, and hydrate. We look to be a little cooler next week, but you still need to stay on top of your needs.
It was mentioned before, but I truly appreciate all the help and assistance we have gotten from you all to make our invitational happen. It is one of the largest in the State and a huge undertaking for our team. Shout outs to Coach Remillard, Ms. Hruska, and all our booster club, and all of our volunteers. It made me proud to see how our community came together yesterday!

Week 3 Announcements (8/24/26 - 8/29/26)
August 23, 2026
A Call for Volunteers! Please consider helping out at our race. It is a large race and we could still use help with parking, lead biking, and clean-up. This is a huge undertaking and we really need all the help we can get. Knowledge of how a cross country meet works is NOT required. Thanks to all who have already signed up!

Notes for the Week
If you weren't present on Friday, we met with Coach Zurcher to talk about making positive goals. I really liked what he was saying about how your react when you are faced with a tough decision. It would be great if you could think about two things this week:
What is your cue word? What is a short phrase or word you can tell yourself to reset mentally. For me, it's either "get it together" or "finish" depending on the context. You should have something that you can tell yourself to reset and refocus.
Try to work on the "recognition" part of when you get faced with a tough decision. Sometimes we don't even realize that we've made the decision when we are in the moment. Slow your thinking down and make sure that you are actually aware of the decisions you are making when you're running!

This "first round" of ordering is just for the uniform, but there will be optional swag that you can get later in the season The tops run pretty true to size for width, but are a little long, for what it's worth.
2. We are having a preseason camp next week. There is no registration/payment for it so you can just show up and run. We are going to meet from 7:30 AM - 9:15 AM, M-F, in the "quad." There is a picture of the map on our instagram page!
3. Our website is the best place to go for XC info. The schedule on there currently is what we are planning for the season. The only thing missing are pasta parties, banquet, and parent night. I will put them up and let you know once they're all scheduled.
4. Practice officially starts on 8/10. You need to make sure you're registered by 3:45 PM on Monday, 8/10, in order to practice!
Don't hesitate to reach out with questions.
