Big Lake CC

Our Hornet XC squad did some mile repeats during practice and then volunteered to pack for our local Backpack Buddies program. The team packed 4 weeks of food to help kids in right in our community.

There is a Fall Sports Meeting on Tuesday, Aug 3 at 6:00 pm in the HS gym.  We will have a XC meeting after that to go over our cross-country scheduling, policies, and answer any questions.  A reminder that practice will officially start on Monday, August 16th at 8:00 am.

Reminder, This is MSHSL’s no-contact week so we will not meet on Monday or Thursday for practice. Hope to see you all at 8:00am on Monday, July 12. This week’s running schedule will be posted on the Team App under “Workout Schedule”
