Hillside XC

2024 Fall Start Date:

When: August 19th from 2:45-4:00

Where: Front of Hillside (facing Hill Road)

Requirements:

Current physical on file (they are valid for 2 years, so 8th graders are covered if they participated in sports last year)
Water Bottle (sunscreen, hat, and lightweight clothing are a good idea too!)
Running Shoes

Practice Info:

Practice every school day from 2:45-4:00 (meet in front of school, facing Hill Rd.)
We run on and off campus. Through the foothills and the neighborhoods.
A water bottle is a requirement, not a suggestion. Runners cannot participate without their own bottle each day. Sharing is not an option. It will be over 100 degrees some days!
Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and lightweight clothing are highly recommended

Meet Info:

Meets are once a week (with a few optional races for runners to add if they wish)
August 24th is the first meet. Students must have 10 practices completed before competing in races
Meets start at 3:30 pm
There are two races at each meet: 7/8th grade boys race together and 7/8th grade girls race together, but their times will be separated into grade level for scoring purposes
Boys’ and girls’ race alternates every meet. One group will start at 3:30. The other group starts when the first race is finished (usually around 4). Then they flip flop the next week for who goes first.
Race results will be posted to Athletic.net (there is an app for it too that makes it easy)
Snacks/drinks have been organized by parents in years past for the kids on meet days. Would love it if that continued!
