CROSS COUNTRY MEETING MAY 23 RECAP

Welcome Back to Canyon Springs Cross Country 2013

TRYOUTS: The dates are: July 20th, August 10th and August 23rd

Standard Times needed to make the 2013 Canyon Spring Cross Country Team

First Time 9th and 10th grade Runners:
Girls must run 24:30 or faster on the course (8:10 per mile pace)
Boys must run
22:30 or faster on the course (7:30 per mile pace)

First Time 11th and 12th grade Runners:
Girls must run 22:30 or faster on the course (7:30 per mile pace)
Boys must run
20:30 or faster on the course (6:50 per mile pace)

Returners: If you were on the team at any point in your High School career this is the formula to make the team this year:

Formula to use: PR + 1min + 30sec = I made the team

Example) Hector Hernandez Ran a PR of 15:23 last year in 2011.

15:23+1:00+00:30=16:53

He would have to run a 16:53 on any of the three tryout dates in order to make the team.

If your PR does not meet the first time grade standard then you will have to make the team under the first time 10th, 11th, 12th grade standard time you fall in depending on your grade level. We are having three different dates to accommodate you and your parents’ schedule. If you fail to make it to any of these tryout dates you will have to wait until the following season to try-out for the team.

Summer Training Sessions

Summer training session will be starting on June 3, 2013 for all returning athletes. All new athletes including incoming freshmen will have a start date of July 1st, 2013. Summer practice will start at 6:00PM Monday through Thursday, and Friday and Saturday at 8:00AM. Summer camp will be held the first week of August with dates and times to be announced. This camp is going to be Invitation only and will require a time trial. Due to the safety of all athletes and the harsh training sessions at camp, we are only taking athletes who meet the time standard with the ability to train under strict conditions. The camp tryout will be held on July 20, 2013 on our modified course “B’. Any athletes who meet this requirement will be invited to Big Bear Camp 2013.
Positive Attitude

Remain positive towards all teammates, coaches, community members, administrators, teachers, and parents. All "electronic" forms of personal opinion towards the team, including all internet, IPOD, iPhone, online communities and communications should be kept positive at all times. 

Effort in Practice

Keep to the highest standard and effort in practice including finishing all workouts, eating at the correct times, running and not walking, taking care of injuries properly, drinking plenty of water, ready to practice with property attire, being on time, attending regularly not missing every other day, committing to the team, making cross country your #1 priority over any other team you may be playing for, and motivating all teammates.
