Cross Country News

September 2016

 

Welcome to the 2016 Queensbury Cross Country Running Team! We are looking forward to a fun season!

 

Forms and Uniforms

Cross Country team participants need to return their permission forms in order to participate in Cross Country. Forms are available by the office.

 

Practices are being held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:10:

 

  • Tuesdays, on our school field
  • Thursdays, at 19th and Grand Boulevard.

 

On our Thursday morning practices, we will meet the children at 19th and Grand Boulevard; following practices, we will walk back to Queensbury as a group for the start of school.

 

Children are expected to attend practices in order to go meets. Once the forms are in, children will receive a uniform to wear at meets. The uniforms are to be returned clean to Ms. Kennedy at the end of the Cross Country season (date to be announced).

 

Practice dates and Locations

@ Queensbury   

  • Tuesday, September 20, 27 &  October 4, 11, 18

                 

@ 19th and Grand Blvd

  • Thursday, September 29  & October 6, 13

 

Meet Dates

  • Oct – 5 @ Windridge Park ( Windsor School)
  • Oct – 12 @ InterRiver Park

 

All meets go rain or shine so children need to be prepared for the weather. Meets start at 3:40 and are usually finished between 4:30-5:00. CHILDREN MUST SIGN IN AND OUT WITH US. At least one of the teachers will be by the finish line. There can be hundreds of children at a meet and safety is priority for everyone concerned.

 

Transportation

 

Parents will be responsible for organizing transportation to and from the meets. We will meet in the gym before leaving for the meets so we know who is going and how each child is getting to the meet. Once at the meet, students will AGAIN have to check in with us to confirm that they have arrived AND check out when they leave. Please note that this is for your child's safety, as last year we had 500 kids at the meets.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at school.

 

Many thanks for your support,

 

Mrs. Kathy Garford, Ms. Laurie Kennedy, Mrs. Alysha Dutchak, & Mrs. Beverley Grantham
