BHSXC Week 4

 Hi Everyone!

Congrats to all the bulldogs for participating in this year's Scrimmage for Cancer.  Our boosters fund made a $100 donation to the Cancer Support Community Delaware.  For many of you, this was your first 5K and we were so happy to see those pink shirts cross the finish line!

I hope you enjoyed the long Labor Day weekend.  Please take a few minutes to read the announcements below and make note of our upcoming schedule.  

Gait Analysis:  Omega PT has offered to set up night for gait screenings for anyone who is interested.  This is normally a $50 fee but they will waive the fee if we bring a group in.  Click HERE for more information.  My daughter had this done her freshman year and it was a tremendous help in correcting a few flaws in her running form.  Please send me a message in the BAND app if you are interested.  More information will follow. 

Uniform Shorts:  All athletes need a solid black pair of running shorts for competitions.  These must be purchased before our first meet which is Saturday 9/9.  

Water Bottles: All athletes should have a reusable water bottle with them at practice every day.  There are water filling stations in the school.  Please make sure you are filling up your water before heading out to the bus or track.  We recommend at least 32 ounces.  Marshalls and TJMaxx have plenty of this size at reasonable prices. Please make sure you are hydrating throughout the day.  The temperatures will be in the 90's this week!

Nutrition:  Please make sure you are properly fueled before coming to practice each day.  If you eat A lunch, you should pack a snack to eat before practice.  Something easily digested like Belvita, granola bars, or bananas.
