Youth Cross Country Team

REMEMBER TO SMILE BEFORE EVERY RUN AND RACE!

ATTENTION: TIME & LOCATION CHANGE. The Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Johnson County practices normally held at Stoll Park will now start at 5:00 P.M. We will meet at the tree where we start all hard workouts. This is due to Daylight Savings Time ending and Stoll Park closing before we are done with practice.

This Saturday morning, the Kansas City Area practice will be held in Kansas at the Johnson County location where we start all the hard workouts. The time for Saturday's practice will be held 10:00 A.M. for all Kansas City area high school athletes not running in South Dakota at NXR. All athletes ages 6-14 who are not in high school will meet at 11:00 A.M. Sunday's practice will be held as usual at the Johnson County location at 4:00 P.M. Bring your water bottle!

NOTE: The Wednesday and Saturday practices this week are two of the most important workouts of the season. I hope you can be there.

After the Saturday practice, Coach Ramsey will meet with parents to make sure that everything is ready for the national trip and all questions are answered.

Please be sure to get a pair of plain red shorts (no other color or trim except for a logo) for your team uniform. We must have them for the national meet. We have extra but some kids prefer to have their own. DO NOT wait until the last minute to attempt to find them as they are usually hard to find.

Also, be sure to do your easy runs on the days that we do not meet for practice.

QUALIFIER MEET NOTES - If you have not run at the national meet with our team, please bring a copy of your birth certificate for national meet registration. Also, please print off, fill out and bring the 2026 national meet waiver with you to the meet. This will allow registration to go much faster for the national meet. Contact Coach Ramsey if you have any questions.

Always remember to bring drinking water to practices! Please contact Coach Ramsey if you have any questions about our cross country team.
