Dear Parents and/or Guardians,
I will be coaching the Quest Rams Cross Country team for the 2019 Fall season. We have joined the Ogden School District Region and finished 2nd place in 2018. We will be competing against other schools in the Northern Utah / Ogden area in grades 6-9. There will be a boy’s and girl’s race within the Ogden School District meets. Regional and state competition will occur based on qualification as a team or individual. The club will meet for practice Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, race Thursday, and have an off day Friday. We will meet in the Q2 gym for daily training from 3:15 P.M-4:15 PM. The fee for Cross Country will be $30 for the season.
There is not a limit to participation in this club. All team members will run every race if healthy. We will train AT OR AROUND THE SCHOOL on a weekly basis. The schedule for the season will be posted on Mr. Roskelley’s blog under the Cross Country tab as soon as it is made available.
Competitions will be on Thursdays and later in the season there is a Tuesday meet. Student athletes will be responsible for getting to the meets. Carpooling is acceptable but will not be set up by Quest or the teachers. Quest is not responsible for transportation to and from the meet as well at practices.
Discipline/Grades
Excessive discipline referrals or failing grades may result in dismissal from the team. Not upholding the Quest Student Athlete / Clubs Contract while representing Quest at a meet and/or practice will also result in school discipline and/or dismissal from the Cross Country team.
Attendance
Please come to practice. The only way to get better is to show up and do the work. Since this is an after school club and transportation is not provided to meets off site student participation is not mandatory but HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. Mr. Roskelley will be at the meet to coach the teams.
Siblings
ONLY members of the team will be allowed to attend practices. Siblings that are not part of the team should have other arrangements for after school care. Coaches cannot be responsible for other students not on the team. They will not be allowed to wait in the gym or come to practice.
Meets and Practice
Practice will be done at 4:15 please arrive promptly to pick up your students. At meets parents/guardians are encouraged and welcome to attend races to support students.
More information will be available soon from the state. Please see blog for updates.
