Blevins Cross Country 2026 (6th, 7th & 8th Grade)
*Any Blevins student (grades 6-8) can join and run all the races! No cuts!
We don’t care if you’re fast or slow. Just come work hard and get in shape.
*Parent info meeting - Blevins Auditeria - Tues Aug 25th, 5-5:45pm
*Shoe night at Altitude Running - Thurs 8/20 from 4:30-6:30pm. Details later.
*Reg, fee, doc physical info: https://www.psdathletics.org/msreg
Doc physical needs to be more recent than 10/8/25. START REG IN JULY!
*Summer training - highly recommended - build up slowly, try to jog 2-4 times per week for 10-30 minutes, or if you’re a veteran, incorporate a weekly long run of 40-60 minutes. In August, make sure to do a few jogs in the heat - it takes your body 2 weeks of exercise in the heat to fully adapt.
*Stay tuned - Preston’s coaches may again be coordinating summer runs - check your email
*Pre-season: Aug 18th-21st at Blevins, 2:45pm-4pm
*Regular season: Mon Aug 24th, at Blevins, 2:45pm-4:30pm. Please have rides arranged by 4:45pm - coaches cannot provide supervision past 4:45pm. Also need to have a family plan for how to get your athlete home if practice gets cancelled for lightning, hail, smoke, etc.
*RECRUIT! We are losing some boys to the new soccer team and want to keep our numbers high enough to hire back a 3rd coach. (Yes, athletes can split time between soccer & XC.)
*Lobo Invite Fundraiser Race for Rocky - probably Sat Aug 22nd@ Spring Canyon

*Gear! We run in heat, rain, and snow, but head inside for lightning, hail, or fire smoke. Need a variety of athletic clothes, good running shoes, and a handstrap water bottle (~10-12 oz).
*19th Annual “A” Run. Help continue a 19-yr Blevins XC tradition! Mon 10/12The Lok family has graciously volunteered to host the party after we run up to the whitewash “A.” We need parent volunteers to drive backpacks, bring snacks, help w/ food prep, print photos, and join us for the “A” run. Backup days 10/19, 10/20.
*Other things: We will also need a horde of volunteers for our home race - either at Blevins or Greenbriar Park, TBD. We’ll also continue the newer tradition of Coach/Athlete/Parent pizza mile.

We can go over how matches will be scored and how doubles teams will be formed. We will answer any questions about the match schedule for boys and girls. We will discuss tennis etiquette for both parents and students. We want to remind parents that there is only bus transportation to the tennis matches.

Transportation
Starting in 2024-25, student transportation for all athletic events is one-way only, meaning district busses will only be taking athletes to the competition sites. Families will be responsible for ensuring that their athletes are picked up from the competition sites. Please contact Athletic Director Scott Schreiner with any questions or concerns.
