Cross Country Announcements!
Hi Everyone!
I know that cross country preseason seems so far away but it will be here before you know it!
I would like EVERYONE on the XC team to schedule a physical at the Wellness Center after 4/1/13. Even if you end up going to your family doctor before preseason, your physical will be on file and we won't have to worry once practices start. Click HERE for more information.
On April 11, BHS will be having a Transition Night for incoming freshmen. The XC team will have a table and I would like to have representatives from the team there to help recruit. Please let me know if you are available that night. I believe the program starts at 6PM. Please wear a BHSXC t-shirt. More information will follow as we get closer.
Speaking of recruiting, start combing the hallways NOW for potential new runners for the team. Don't be shy about spreading the word about our fantastic program. I am looking into getting permission for some of you to go to the 9th and 10th grade homerooms and talk to the students about XC. If you are interested in helping out, let me know.
Hope your spring seasons are going well! Summer training will be here before you know it!

Start Thinking About XC 2013!
