Cross Country Camp

We are in the midst of finalizing our numbers for Cross Country Camp this weekend.  We are going to be ordering our food and other stuff on Tuesday, so we need to know RIGHT AWAY if you're planning on being with us and haven't touched base with us!

I've had some parents asking about directions up to camp.  We would love to have ANY parents come up ANYTIME they would like!  We have a good time, and the more the merrier!  Here's the directions:

Directions to Shadow Mountain

• ·         Drive up Hobble Creek Canyon
• ·         Continue past the Golf Course, till the road forks
• ·         Take the LEFT FORK
• ·         Drive 4.5 miles up the Left Fork of Hobble Creek Canyon
• ·         You will see a turn-off on the LEFT side of the road.  There’s a small street sign that says “Whittemore Dr.” and there was a For Sale sign that says “Blackhawk” I think (last year, not sure if it’s still there...)  Take this turn-off.
• ·         Follow Whittemore Dr. up about 2.1 miles.  It will turn from pavement to dirt about ¼ mi up.  Each time the road forks (over the 2.1 miles), keep on Whittemore Dr.
• ·         At some point along the road, you will come across a gate that was new last year, but I’m not sure exactly where it is… There is an access code that must be entered.  It is 9512.
• ·         At about 2.1 miles, the road will fork again.  There’s a cabin up on your right.  Take the LEFT fork, called Oakwood Dr. 
• ·         The road will wind around for another .7 miles, and eventually becomes Nebo Circle.  You’ll pass through a gate, and into camp!  WELCOME!!

Summer Update

We, as Coaches, wanted to send out a quick reminder about our summer conditioning that is going on right now, and also some further information concerning our team CAMP that is coming up!

PARENT MEETING

In order for the District to allow us to do all the fun overnighters that are a part of our season, we must have a parent meeting to explain what the season entails and to ask for a parent "vote of approval" for our overnighters (Cross Country Camp, Cedar City and California.)  It is required that all runners and a parent be represented at the meeting!  Please do EVERYTHING in your power to be present!

Date:  Tuesday, July 23rd
Time:  7:00 pm
Place:  SHHS Cafeteria



SUMMER RUNNING

M, W, F Practices--We are practicing together as a team each Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at 7:00 am.  We meet at the SHHS Track.  These practices are official team practices and we need everyone to be in attendance if they are in town.

Thursday Practices--We meet on Thursday evenings to do a Trail Run.  The location varies week to week, but generally we'll meet at the Track and carpool from there!  These are great runs!  Don't miss them! 

-This Thursday (July 18th) both coaches are out of town, but the Captains are leading a Thursday evening run followed by water games and dinner!  Meet at the Track at 7:00 pm to join the fun.  The captains will have a signup sheet at practice this week to sign up for dinner assignments!
