August 7 - First Day of Practice (ALL)

We begin the 2023 season on Monday, August 7 at 8:00 a.m.

All team members not trying out for another sport are expected to be at the first practice. If your son is trying out for another sport, but is interested in potentially joining XC later, that's no problem - just let Coach Porter know that, at jporter@sluh.org. All others should meet on the west-facing steps of the Danis Field House. We will begin at 8:00 a.m. sharp. Bring a water bottle with your name on it and be ready to run. We will be finished by 10:15 or 10:30 a.m.

Physicals!
Completed physical forms must be uploaded and approved in PRIVIT before the season begins. Otherwise, we will have to send your son away from practice until his PRIVIT profile is finalized. Review information on this process here. Direct questions about PRIVIT to Athletic Trainer Mr. Jon McCutchen at jmccutchen@sluh.org.

August 11 - Alumni Race (ALL)

Location: SLUH Track

Alumni Race Results

On Friday evening, everyone had the opportunity to get their first taste of racing. After being placed into one of three heats, all team members attacked a two-mile race around the SLUH track. Freshman Jackson Miller and junior Gus Talleur led the charge, running 9:58 and 10:02 for fourth and fifth place overall. The alumni team, led by a pack of recent graduates now competing at the college level, emerged victorious this year.

Shoutout to current XC parent Matt Dougherty '93 for taking home this year's Master's title, as well as all of the younger siblings who took part in the inaugural Kids' 100m. Thank you to all who attended this event!

Click here to see results for the two-mile race, including lap and mile splits for each competitor. Especially for newer runners, it's fascinating to return to these results after the season ahead, to see just how much progress can and will be made.

The data from this race allows the coaches to better create workout groups based not only on volume of miles, but on speed and competitiveness amongst the groups. Each athlete is assigned to both a letter group (A-F) and a number group (1-6) that allow for more intentional pairings for what we try to accomplish in practices. These letter and number groups are fluid and can change as a runner progresses through the season.

Freshmen and sophomores will open their interscholastic racing season on Wednesday, August 30, at O'Fallon (IL). These athletes will join the upperclassmen for the first full-team meet on Saturday, September 2, at Granite City.
