fall break and COTE

Important notes for this week:

Fall break starts at the end of this week and goes into next Mon & Tue.  Only those actively racing cross country for the team are required to stay on campus through the break.  If you have any questions, ask your coaches.

We have identified ten women and ten men who will compete at Louisville in two weeks.  We will travel a total of twelve to Louisville, however.  So this weekend we will compete a group of women and men at Furman.  Both races are 5k.  From this group we will select the additional two women and two men who will then compete at Louisville.  For those not competing at Louisville we hope to arrange for competition at Berry that weekend.

Lastly, from the Performing Under Pressure session, we know we have to bring a COTE of armor to our competition.  Let's work on that by bringing it to practice err day all day!
