Family ID

Family ID has been reopened, it will close on Friday Nov. 16th. That being said there has been an update to the try out schedule. An updated roster will be posted later this evening so please keep an eye out, the majority of you that aren't cleared do have everything in we are just waiting on administration to sign off on all documents and update your status in the system.

Winter Track

Just a reminder family ID will close on November 12 if you are not registered for a winter sport by then (even if you have paperwork in from the fall) you will not be on the roster. Even if you need a physical or impact test please do not wait to have those before doing family ID. It's best to do family ID first then get the paperwork in. Please get everything done as soon as possible as you can not try out if you are not cleared. An updated roster has been posted; as of now we have 126 athletes on the roster and only 52 are cleared. If your name is not on the roster send an email to runningmounties@gmail.com and you will be informed as to why you are not cleared.

Clearance

If you have any questions of why you are not cleared please send an email to runningmounties@gmail.com so it can be clarified. The last day to register on Family ID is November 12th. If you take a physical the paperwork must be turned into the athletic office so it can be signed off and approved by the school doctor. Please get everything done as soon as possible as you can not try out if you are not cleared.

Preseason

For those of you not doing a fall sport and either missed or did not get a packet at the meeting. Please see the tab on the right titled preseason, in this link you will find you workouts for the next 7 weeks leading up to the season. The goal is to come in shape, not using the first few weeks to get in shape as we have our first few meets in the early part of December. There is also a general info link as well which shows all the important information for the season and events contested. Please make sure you start checking the blog for updates at least once a week.
