Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Cross Country Families
Our season is just around the corner! Here are few quick reminders:
- Preseason handout. This will walk you through almost everything you need to do to get great ready for the Fall Season. This is very important that you read through this handout. Preseason Handout CLICK HERE
- All paperwork must be submitted online. A parent must submit this online through HCPSS Connect. This should be done before Wednesday, August 14th. Your name should be on the Eligibility Paperwork list and listed as clear in GREEN. Once I get paperwork for athletes, I will start updating this Roster Sheet. (CLICK HERE)
