Dear Wolverine

 

I hope this letter finds you enjoying the long summer break we have this year. 

 

The purpose of this letter is to encourage you to become a member of the Wakeland High School Cross Country team.  We are coming off a very successful 2007 Season, in which we finished 2nd in the District 9-3A Meet, 3rd in the Region II 3A Meet, and 11th in the UIL State 3A Meet.  We will move up to Class 4A this fall and join District 9-4A, which includes Frisco High, Frisco Centennial, Frisco Liberty, McKinney High, McKinney North, Sherman, and Denison.  We expect to continue to build on the great successes we have already accomplished.

 

Every member of last year’s team competed on additional WHS athletic teams.  We had runners that also played basketball, soccer, track and wrestling.  Cross Country can benefit these programs more if we have more participation from the other members of those teams.  The coaches of the respective teams can spend more time on skill development during their athletic period and less time on conditioning.  By working together, we can help raise the Wakeland Athletic Program to new heights. 

 

If you have any questions about cross country, call me at 469 223-8680 (cell), 469 633-5762 (office), e-mail me at brownj@friscoisd.org, or check out our website:  www.eteamz.com/wakelandcc .

 

Below is our schedule for the remainder of the summer.  We will continue to meet twice a week until the week of Aug. 4th, which is the start of the Pre-race Phase of our training. Our Parent Meeting will coincide with the Football and Volleyball Parent Meetings on Aug. 2nd.  The Cross Country Meeting will be at 11:00 in the Lecture Hall.

School begins on Monday August 25th.  We will practice before school from 6:45 to no later than 8:15, which gives you at least 30 minutes to get ready for class.  We will practice 4 days a week and either have a day of rest on Tuesday or Friday depending on our race schedule for that week.  Our practice schedule will be posted soon on our website (see above).  On the back of this letter is our meet schedule so you can begin planning other activities during the school year. 

 

Sincerely

 

Coach Brown
