Varsity Charter Bus Trip:
This year’s charter bus trip for the top 20 boys/top 14 girls will be to an overnight meet in Charlotte, North Carolina. We will leave 8/26 and race on 8/27. After the meet Saturday, we will spend the day at Carowinds Amusement Park! Then we will head back home on Sunday. The cost per person is expected to be $285, but any Runathon money raised over $120 will go towards offsetting this cost for each runner. The runners eligible for this trip will be determined after the season opener Time Trial.
The Wingfoot Invitational is a Varsity trip that JV can also earn (but prospective Varsity runners need to complete standard #1 below). For JV to earn the overnight Wingfoot trip in 2022 they must meet ALL of the following requirements:
-
Help with one of 2 workdays on our campus course: 7/29 or 9/21
-
Have no unexcused absences
-
Consistently doing drills/workouts the 2 weeks leading up to the meet and planning on racing.
-
Have raced at least one 5k during the season
-
Be healthy and cleared to race in the meet.
Coaches retain the right to invite additional athletes to the meet based on exceptional circumstances or the needs of the team.
