Intramural Cross Country Team

HAVERFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL

INTRAMURAL CROSS COUNTRY TEAM

Haverford Middle School 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students have the unique opportunity to participate in an intramural cross country running program this fall. This is meant to be a fun introduction into the sport of running. All students will be encouraged to participate at their own level and at their own pace.

Practices will be held on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:00 – 4:30 on the surrounding running trails and parks around Haverford Township. The first practice of the season will be held at Haverford Middle School on Monday, September 19th.

Transportation will be provided from the middle school to any of the sites that will be used during training runs. Runners will be returned back to HMS at the end of practice. Each athlete is responsible for transportation home from HMS after practices and meets. Meets will be held during the season which runs through the end of October.

All athletes must return a signed permission slip before they are able to practice. Because this is an intramural activity, students are not required to have a physical in order to compete.

Email reminders will be sent home via email during the season. In addition, to stay updated on the latest XC news, meet results, and photos, log on to Mrs. Young’s home page found on the HMS website and click on the link 2016 HMS Cross Country.

Cross country provides a great opportunity for students to learn more about a new sport, be part of a team, and have fun. We look forward to working with you this year.

Sincerely,

Coach Wagner and Coach Young
