Welcome back! I am Mr. Griffin, and you can reach me at Thomas.griffin@k12.wv.us or through Schoology. We will also communicate using InTouch messages throughout the season in case there is bad weather that causes us to cancel practice. I will be the new coach for this year and look forward to seeing how the year progresses with you all. I was previously one of the coaches at Hedgesville Middle School.

Practice will be every day of the week (Monday – Friday) right after school till 4 PM. This schedule will stay the same till the first meet (Schedule is on the back of this paper). After the first meet, we will only practice Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday with our meets being on Wednesdays.

Runners should wear appropriate clothing for practice. If the student is wearing boots or jeans, they will not be allowed to run that day. However, we only cancel practice for storms. If it is just raining, we will still have practice. Please allow your runner to take a water bottle to school so that they can stay hydrated for meets and practice.

All meet dates are listed below and there will be transportation to and from the meets. Times to meet at South for bus pick up will be sent home the Monday prior to the meets, but the bus will typically be leaving at 4 from South.
