XC Weekly Update

Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful long weekend!  Here is the schedule for the week.  Looking forward to it.

Tuesday - Home meet against Acton.  The boys will run first followed by the girls.  We hope Acton arrives around 3:15 and then we will walk the course prior to the first race.  Hopefully the meet will begin around 3:45.  It might be a little earlier if Acton is able to arrive sooner.

Thursday - Home meet against Diamond MS of Lexington.  The girls will run first followed by the boys.  Lexington will hopefully arrive around 3:30 and then we will do our course walk.  We anticipate the meet beginning around 4:00 although it might be earlier if Lexington arrives sooner.

Friday - Practice from 3:30-4:30.

*******  It is very hard to believe that we have 2 weeks left to our season.  Here is the schedule for the final week as well so you can plan ahead.

Monday, October 21st - Carlisle Invitational - This is a very large meet with about 20 schools and it takes place at Great Brook Farm in Carlisle.  All teams that are participating need to arrive at Great Brook Farm around 3:30.  Due to our new school start time, we will not be able to make it there in time unless we are dismissed from school early.  WMS teachers are aware that XC team members will be dismissed from school at 2:15 on October 21st so that we can attend the invitational.  Our team bus will transport our team to and from the meet as usual.  If you plan on attending and would like to bring your child home with you directly from the meet, please send an email explaining your pick up plan.  There will be more details regarding this meet in our next email during the week including estimated start times of all 4 races as there will be a boys varsity race, boys JV race, girls varsity race and a girls JV race.  As usual, if you have any questions, please let us know.  

Tuesday, October 22nd - Team run to Dairy Queen.  This is a WMS XC team tradition where we run from the middle school to DQ in Natick for an ice cream and then run back.  In order to participate in this "WORKOUT" a permission slip needs to be signed and returned to the coaches.  We will send home this permission slip during the week.  Be on the look out for it.

Thursday, October 24th - Our last meet of the season will take place in Lincoln against Lincoln (Hanscom).  

Please let us know if you have any questions.  Thanks for your support throughout the season.  We are excited about the last 2 weeks!
