From
Coach Z:
One of the finest Storm Cross Country traditions continues this
season on Thursday, September 7th after our home meet!
Our annual kickoff potluck takes place giving families and athletes a chance to
mingle and get to know each other while sharing awesome dishes
together. The pot luck commences immediately following the award
ceremony and will be held in the High School Commons. Food will be held
in a room to be determined as you arrive at the school for the meet.
Families should bring their own beverages and here are the food
assignments:
Grades 6-8: fruits/veggies, side dish or dessert
Grade 9: desserts
Grade 10: side dishes
Grade 11 & 12: main dishes
Of course families are welcome to bring more than one dish if they
desire! The coaching staff will be supplying eating utensils, plates,
napkins, etc. The Storm cross country squad numbers around 50.
Secondly, we will need volunteers to assist at the home
meet. Many of you have volunteered in the past and we thank you and hope
that you can help out again. We need a minimum of 10-12 volunteers so
families can switch off to watch their athletes participate in their individual
races. If you can help, please email Coach Zeilenga at Marie.Zeilenga@isd47.org or tell her in person at an
upcoming practice! Assignments will be given to the volunteers on the
date of the race but most of the volunteers needed are just to stand on the
course and make sure the runners go the right direction at the forks in the
trails. Easy peasy!
