Announcement from September 25 (Week 8 Updates)
Hey all!
Hope you had a great weekend. We've got the Pat Patten Invitational this Saturday. This is a new meet for us and here is some relevant information:
Varsity is 9 and it goes off at 9:30 for boys and 10 for girls. I will let those athletes know they are in the varsity division on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Open is for everyone else (no JV this week) and it goes off at 10:30 for boys and 11:05 for girls
The meet directions are on the website, but it is effectively at Fairview High School. Here is a link to the course map.
They do NOT want you to park at Fairview HS or at the Boulder Rec Center. There should be parking in the neighborhood though.
Awards are at 11:30.
We do not have a pasta party this week, but we will have a celebration for our runners who are not on the regional team next week Friday (10/6). I'll send out more information about that later this week or in next week's updates.
Thanks and reach out if you have any questions. I included the end of season info below and will try to keep that up there as it continues to be relevant.
Cheers,
Coach Dusto

Register for the Fall 2023 Cross Country Season
STEP A - Register with the School
CLICK HERE to download the Athlete Physical Form. Pages 4 and 5 must be signed by your medical provider and the athlete must be marked as medically cleared to participate. The Athlete Physical Form is good for one year from the date it is signed by your provider, so if a valid physical is on file with Creek you can use a prior physical.
CLICK HERE to register with the school for Cross Country. The Athlete Physical Form needs to be uploaded during the registration process.
The cost to participate is $90 for the season.
STEP B - Register with the Booster Club
CLICK HERE to register with the Booster Club. Registration with the Booster Club is required for all Bruins Cross Country Athletes. The fee is $125. This fee pays for pasta parties, popsicle Mondays, and scholarships. This year's team t-shirt for your athlete comes with Booster Club registration and can be picked up at the parents meeting, Watermelon Run, or Time Trials.
STEP C - Purchase a Uniform
CLICK HERE to purchase a uniform if you are new to Bruins Cross Country. If you have a uniform from a prior season or a sibling/friend you can use that uniform and do not need to purchase a new one. Uniforms are $80. The uniform is the same as the uniform worn in track & field except that most male cross country runners wear the split shorts rather than the compression shorts worn by male track & field sprinters.
STEP D - Attend the Parents Meeting
We will have a parents meeting on August 9th at 6pm in the Schillinglaw Lecture Hall in the West Building of the High School. At the meeting you will be able to purchase this year's t-shirt and sweats as well as other gear. It is recommended that every athlete purchase a t-shirt and sweat suit as we will wear these to school before some meets.
Please consider supporting our Booster Club activities with additional financial support. You can make a general donation, sponsor a pasta party, etc.
Cherry Creek Cross Country cannot function without support from the Booster Club. The Booster Club pays for pasta parties before every meet, popsicle Mondays, equipment, coaching support, etc.
