Clean Sweep! All FOUR ORXC divisions came away with a win last week at the Camp Gruber Invitational! We took our HS runners to Camp Gruber for the course more than anything. The hills there on the base were a great primer for Rim Rock coming up next week. For our JH kids though, it was fantastic to see them get a win in both the girls and boys divisions in their first meet of the year and on what will more than likely be the toughest course they run on all year. It was a great day to be a Ram for sure!
Our HS runners will have the week off from competition. Our JH runners will head to Choctaw on Friday for their second meet of the season. I’ll let Coach Graham share the details for that meet when she’s ready. Usually, we wear cut-off jean shorts and tank tops to fit in when we run at Choctaw but that will be up to Coach Graham as well.
The HS coaches are working on getting the roster together for Rim Rock. We will be taking our top 40 runners to Kansas for our first big meet of the season on the 22nd. I will send out a detailed itinerary next Sunday for that meet. Any runner not going to Rim Rock will compete at the BTW on Thursday of next week.
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 from our Booster Club was kind enough to make a snack sign up if you’d like to help out…

Lastly, we’ll have our monthly Booster Club meeting on Tuesday night from 6:00 – 7:00 pm at the Track/XC Fieldhouse. Everyone is welcome to come!
Thank you for all you do! As always…GO RAMS! – Coach Collins
