Halloween half water stops

Team, we will be participating again in the Halloween half marathon water stops again this year. Both as a community service project, and as a way to help raise funds for our varsity team to travel to az for Nike regionals.

We are asking anyone that can come to meet at the mouth of Provo canyon Saturday at 7:30 AM in the parking lot next to canyon corner. (Where we meet for summer practice).

That will give us time to get up to the specific spots and get set up prior to the start of the race.

We anticipate being done by 12 & would really appreciate all the hands we can get. It's alot of fun and something the kids look forward to every year.

Dress warm as it can get cool in Provo canyon.

Thanks

Andy

2013 Cross Country Schedule

thanks,

Coach Andy Jacobs

Top of the world

One of the best runs of the year,  Top of the works run.  Each make athlete gets paired up with a Female athlete from camp (based on real thing times) and assigned a group.  Girls race out and their make partner has to stay with them until the turn around point. Then it's their turn to race back.  Individually Candace Greenwood was the top overall girl in the camp and Matt owens finished with the third best time in camp! 

Cross Country camp 2013

We just finished the real thing! Matt owens #1 boy and Ashley Runyon #1 girl at camp! Great day to be at OHS Tiger!

Need final count for camp by Tuesday!

I need to have the final count for camp so that the school can prepare a check to pay CEU. So if you're planning on participating please call me and let me know asap.

Thanks
