Good afternoon, ORXC Army! It’s another balmy day here in the fake desert of Oklahoma. I love how we are teased with one or two decent days and then fall right back to the sun’s surface. Ugh.
Congrats to our JH squad for an excellent race last week at Choctaw. They will head over to Pryor this week for their next meet, and the HS TEAM will travel to MSSU in Joplin for a big race on Saturday. Our JH and JV runners only have four and a half weeks of the season remaining! Hard to believe.
We will be passing out HS gear this week and, fingers crossed, JH gear next week. Runners must have their gear payment turned in to receive their gear packs. If you need more time, please reach out to a coach. We will work something out. The QR code is attached.
We will also be hosting our next meet, the Owasso Invitational, on October 3rd. We need volunteers to help with medals, water, parking, concessions, and chip recovery. Volunteers get prime parking and to be right in the middle of the action! Please click on the link below if you can help…

Please remind your runners to stay on top of their academics and for our high school TCC students to turn in their grades every Wednesday. We had several athletes on probation this past week.
Also, a constant reminder of the three R’s…REST, REHYDRATE, and REFUEL. When the weather is like this, with high heat and no wind, runners must take care of themselves outside of practice so they can perform at their best during practice.
Lastly, thank you all who have donated snacks and water. This has been, far and away, the best season ever in that regard. It is very much appreciated!
Thank you for your constant support of your kids and the program and as always…GO RAMS!
