Week 10

We just finished up a great week of high altitude camp up at Deer Haven Campground.  Thanks to all the parents who helped get the team up and down the mountain.  Thanks to Papa Holt for the tasty meals.  And a huge thanks to all the captains and the great work they did to pull off such a big effort.  We had all sorts of activities, great runs, rain, skits, rain and did we mention rain!

Wow!  What a summer - we had a lot of great stuff going on.  Let's keep it up as we transition to the school year.  Think about how many of you talked about a person who recruited you and made a difference in you coming out to XC... I challenge everyone of you to now be that person for someone else as we move into the school year.  It is a perfect time to get someone started.  Challenge them to come out for 2 weeks and see how much they really like it.  And calm all their fears by telling them about how it was when you got started and what you like about it so much.  This is going to be a truly special year and we want to share it with everyone that we can.
