Return to practice ~sprinter addition~

Sprinter cows!

Tomorrow (10/19/20) is the first practice we will have! If you are in the sprinter GroupMe, all the information you need is there. If not, here are the important things you will want to know.

We are only allowed to practice per the face mask guideline and social distancing. This means that face masks must be worn during practice and we cannot be within 6 feet. I'll have extras if you forget one. I will remind you if you happen to break this because we are required to follow these guidelines to practice.

We will be practicing on the Near West practice fields by lakeshore. We will be on Field 1. If you’re a freshman or new and do not know where this is, send me an email.

Practice will be Monday and Wednesday at 5 PM. We only have an hour so please try to be on time.

VIRTUAL FALL COLORS 5K RECAP

Thank you to everyone who ran the virtual 5k, you all rock! The individual and team results are in this spreadsheet!

We loved seeing all of your awesome pictures of ~fall time~ and saw some pretty impressive times by our speedy cows.

These are the top three times of the boys and girls! Congratulations Cole and Zoe for kicking it at that top spot! Enjoy some of my favorite cow selfies, or colfies, down below.
