Welcome to XC

To participate in practice, a student-athlete must be "green" in Final Forms.  Athletes, please login to be certain you are cleared for practice. Coaches are required to turn away any athlete who is "red." This is non-negotiable and enforced strictly by our school.  Questions regarding Final Forms eligibility can be answered by Coach Kurt, Coach Stride, or the athletic secretary, Susan Pearson (email spearson@nsd.org).

Practices run for approximately 2 hours; some practices end slightly earlier.
2023 season: August 21 through September 5 -- 5:00pm start, Monday through Friday. Saturday practice begins at 9:00am (August 26 and September 2 only).
September 6th onward, practice begins at 3:45 on school days, Monday through Friday (including early release Wednesdays).
Saturdays are invitationals. We encourage "active rest" days for athletes not competing in invitationals (coaches will verbally communicate to the team who is attending competitions). 

The team competition schedule can be found on athletic.net. Transportation details will be communicated both verbally at practice as well as through email, as the competition season draws near.

Please notify either of the team coaches, Coach Kurt or Coach Stride, if you need to miss a practice. Our primary goal is to help you succeed as a student first. We are here for you and want open lines of communication. You can reach your coaches via the Remind app or email.
