Also Parents if your kids haven't talked to you, we are trying to finish up our fundraiser right now.. We are doing Ridley's gift cards again or they can just go get donations/sponsors if they prefer. Only about 3% of the team has helped with this so far. I can't stress to you the importance of this. We are the lowest money allocated sport at the school(fighting for this change), they don't pay us for multiple coaches and to be honest by the end we don't actually make anything to coach them. To have a team and complete a season we have to pay for Invitationals which range between $120 - $180 a piece, we have to pay for use of runnercard and athletic.net websites to host and manage all of our meets, as well as every time new uniforms are bought we have to pay half so we have to save up for those. We scrape by every year. I know fundraising sucks, believe me I coach 3 sports and do it ALL the time with FBLA as well. But it is how we are able to have a program. Please support your kids and help them do this.

I want to especially thank those parents that came out and supported us at USU! These kids work SO hard, (hardest workouts out of any sport if you ask me) and it's nice to have you there for them! So thank you so much for all your support for our little XC family!
