XC Weekly Update
Hope everyone has enjoyed the beautiful weather! Here is the schedule for the week.
Tuesday - We will practice at the middle school from 3:30-4:30. At the conclusion of our practice, a group of residents from Sunrise Assisted Living Facility in Wayland will meet our team and hand out some popsicles for our runners. Our team will mingle for a little with the residents, and enjoy the popsicles together. If your child does not enjoy popsicles or has an allergy, you can send them to school with an extra Gatorade or sports drink. I will send out the ingredient list to everyone once I receive it from our friends at Sunrise.
Thursday - Away meet against BOTH Kennedy MS and McDevitt MS of Waltham. This will be a tri-meet and BOTH the girls and boys races will take place together; however, they will be scored separately. The team bus will leave WMS at 3:25 and we hope to be at Waltham High School at 4:00. After we warm-up and stretch, the race will begin promptly. We anticipate the meet beginning shortly after 4:00. As of right now, the forecast is for cool temperatures and rain so please have your child dress warmly. If the meet is postponed due to weather, we will let you know as soon as possible. Our estimated return time to WMS will be 5:30-5:45. Please understand if we are delayed due to traffic. If you want to bring your child home directly from the away meet, please send an email or write a note detailing your pick-up plan. Thank you.
Friday - Practice at WMS from 3:30-4:30.

XC Weekly Update
We had great performances on Thursday at our first meet of the season. Everyone should be very proud of themselves for their successful completion of the course and now everyone has a time in mind in which they can continue to lower.
There are a few changes to our original schedule this week so please read:
Monday - Practice from 3:30-4:30
Tuesday - XC Meet at WMS against Stony Brook Middle School (Westford). The estimated start time of the race is 3:45. It is a XC team tradition that both the girls and boys teams remain at the meet for both races to cheer for each other. At the conclusion of the meet team members should also help clean up by picking up cones and markers around the course. Thank you for your help and support with this.
Thursday - Practice is cancelled because both coaches will be on the 8th grade NY Cave Trip.
Friday - Practice at WMS from 3:30-4:30
Hope to see many of you at our meet on Tuesday. Enjoy the beautiful weekend!

Welcome to the WMS Cross Country Team!
1. We are looking forward to our first practice of the season on Monday. We will begin practice at 3:30 and will be finished by 4:30. All XC team members should report to the outdoor basketball courts on the back field of the school. Athletes are expected to wear shorts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, socks, running sneakers and should always bring a water bottle to practice. We are also aware that there are music auditions taking place Monday after school as well. If your son or daughter is auditioning, it is perfectly fine to attend the audition and then attend XC practice.
2. Here is the schedule for the week:
Monday - Practice 3:30-4:30
Tuesday - Practice 3:30-4:30
Thursday - Practice 3:30-4:30
Friday - Practice 3:30-4:30
3. The Wayland Boosters supply our team uniform. The uniform is the same as last year so returning athletes do not need to purchase a uniform. For those of you who are new to our program, please bring in a check for $11.00 made payable to Wayland Boosters. This cost covers the uniform which is the same for both XC and Spring Track Teams. The uniform does not need to be returned at the end of the season.
4. In order to participate in our first practice, all athletes must be cleared. In order to be cleared for practice a current physical must be on file with our school nurse. Please be sure your child has an updated physical. A copy of the physical can be brought to practice on Monday and the coaches will be sure to submit it to our school nurse.
5. Registration is still open so if you or your child know of other middle school students who would enjoy running XC please encourage them.
6. Please register for our XC Blog which is updated weekly. The blog can be accessed by clicking here.
7. As usual, if you have any questions, please let us know. Looking forward to seeing you at our XC meets!
