Hydration is one of the most important factors of training, especially in the extreme temperatures we are experiencing this summer. A combination of water and electrolytes may help our student athletes perform at their best.
Athletes will have 30 minutes after practice to shower/change in the locker rooms and 10 minutes after to eat breakfast.
Gear can be stored in room 207 so athletes do not have to carry around their running gear all day.
Please see Mrs. Garcia in room 207 if anyone ever forgets their water bottle or needs a quick snack.
