Communication
We use a Google Group and a SportsYou team to manage all XC communications. You can access links to both of the communication outlets under the communication tab above, or down this page.
The Google Group is great for things like asking questions or planning carpools. Parents, use the Google Group to get in the know.
The SportsYou is great for instant communication with Coaches or captains. Runners, use SportsYou to quickly text back with a question or comment.
