IHMS Team Gear Store (Optional.  Store closes September 7)

Week 3 August 31- September 4

The kids are really getting into the swing of things now, and had some great times at the time trial yesterday.  They should be proud of their work so far!  Some day I will figure out how to send shorter emails but today will not be that day.  Here we go!

• Schedule SUBJECT TO CHANGE

  • Monday - MORNING PRACTICE 7:00 - 7:45 or 8:00.  We’ll do a make-up time trial for kids that can make it so they don’t have to do one in the afternoon.  If kids can’t make it again, we can work them in later in the week.

  • Tuesday - Practice 4:00 - 5:15.  I’m hoping it won’t be so hot that we aren’t allowed to have outside practice, but if it is we will pass out jerseys and do whatever sort of workout we can inside

  • Wed-Fri… TBD.  We will have practice.  I am hoping it will be in the afternoon, but I will let you know on Monday or Tuesday evening either way.

• September 8 Meet

  • HERE is the meet flyer with times, location, and info. More to come next weekend once the meet entries are finalized.  Please let me know if your runner will be eligible but can’t attend.  The day after labor day isn’t ideal for a meet!

• No Practice Dates

  • No practice Labor Day 9/7

  • No practice Lancer Day 9/10

  • No practice on meet days (runners not in the meet will have the day off).

• Team Store

  • HERE is the link to the team store. Remember it is optional.  It’s open for 10 more days.

• Jerseys

  • We will pass jerseys out to runners on Tuesday and then every day there after for those who aren’t there Tuesday.  We will only pass them out to those who have qualified for a meet to start.  We’ll get more jerseys out as they qualify.  (I’m hoping we have enough!)

• Reminders

  • Make sure your runner has a water bottle.  Maybe several as back ups!

  • Appropriate running attire and shoes.  We have had a couple show up in jeans lately.  I still had them run but that isn’t ideal.

  • We’re two weeks in, so your runner should have an idea of whether they enjoy things or not.  If they don’t, it is totally okay if they want to retire from the team.  We don’t want to make them miserable every day if they hate it.  Just let us know.

It really has been a good start to the season!  I’m excited to see how things go in the first meet!

2026 Info

• We (all of Shawnee Mission) are transitioning to using a registration/ scheduling program called Bound for athletics.  Click HERE for more information.  (We are still getting used to it, also, so please be patient as we figure out how to use it.)

• In addition to the meets on the schedule (see tabs for the link) there will likely be a meet for A team runners at Blue Valley Southwest High School on September 16.  More info to come on that one.

• Practice will begin on Monday, August 17 and take place every day (M-F) from 4:00 - 5:15.  I believe there will be a calendar available in Bound, but it is not functional yet.  If it isn't user-friendly, we'll use a Google Calendar.

• Please read over the IHMS XC expectations for info about what to expect, and/ or come to the parent meeting on August 4 at 6:00 pm in the IHMS cafeteria.  If you can't make the meeting, HERE is a copy of the slideshow.

• Last day to register/ come out for the team is Friday, August 21.

• More info and expectations.
