Congratulations to our ORXC JH runners for an excellent meet last Friday at Choctaw! Our boys’ 7th and 8th-grade teams both finished 2nd and our girls’ 7th and 8th-grade teams both won the meet! Fantastic running from all those athletes!
Our JH runners will race at the Bishop Kelley Invitational on Tuesday. Coach Graham will send out the information for that meet. Our HS runners have our first big meet of the season this Friday and Saturday in Lawrence, KS at the Rim Rock Classic. Runners not attending Rim Rock will race at the BTW Invitational on Thursday back at O’Brien Park. The schedule for BTW is listed below. The schedule for Rim Rock was sent out last week and will be sent again today in a separate text.
We are looking forward to hosting our annual Owasso Invitational on Thursday, September 28th at O’Brien Park. We need volunteers to help out with parking, medals, water, and the concession stand. This is the second of three meets ORXC will host this season. We had great help with the Relays! We love for our parents to be involved in the program. Please consider coming out to help the team and support your athletes. Kelly Mangelson from our Booster Club Board has set up a Sign-Up Genius for the meet…

BTW has also asked us to bring out our concession stand to the meet this week. We need a few parents to help out here too. This is an easy fundraiser. We’ll only be selling chips and drinks. Kelly Mangelson again, she’s a superstar, has set up a volunteer list for this volunteer opportunity…

We are ALWAYS in need of snacks for our runners! The sooner they get calories after their workout the quicker they can start to recover for the next day’s workout. We purchase whole chocolate milk as a recovery drink with the Booster Club fee but if you’re at Sam’s or Costco and can grab some extra granola bars, fruit snacks, or crackers we could definitely use them. Kelly Mangelson, the previously mentioned superstar, was kind enough to make a snack sign-up if you’d like to help out…

Finally, another Booster Club superstar, Jeff Miles, has been hard at work creating a website for ORXC and Owasso Track. The site can be found at www.owassotfxc.com. We want to start utilizing the website more and more as a central hub for information regarding the program. From here on out we’ll be posting results, pics, and weekly schedules on the website. Please go check it out.
We’re all really excited about these next few weeks! Please help your athletes by reminding them of the importance of sleep, hydration, and nutrition then come out to watch your athletes in action!
Thank you for all you do! As always…GO RAMS! – Coach Collins
