Uniform Information

Hello Harmony,
This Monday we will take some time from practice to fit everyone for their uniforms. Tuesday at practice we will hand them out. We will post the meet directions and specifics for our meet in Shelby County on the blog too. Monday will be the absolute last day to take fees and get orders for apparel. Great practice tonight! Don't forget to check the blog before each practice and each meet. Lots of valuable info...

Practice Cancelled Tonight - Thursday, August 23

Due to another extremely high heat index, we need to cancel practice tonight - Thursday, August 23rd. We will hold another practice on Sunday at 6pm. Due to how difficult 3 practices in a row are, we'll take it fairly easy on Sunday. **Please bring your CC fee ($60) and money for all apparel Sunday. Practices will resume to normal schedule (we hope!!) Monday at 5pm.

Thank you for your patience - these runners are really improving!

Practice moved back Thursday August 23rd to 6:45

Hi team,
Our practice tonight has been moved back to 6:45 and will end at 8:00 due to high heat index. Please bring your water bottle. Tonight is the last night team fees will be collected, please bring your check for $60 per runner and get your apparel orders in. See you tonight. Thank you.

Great practices so far. We are going to have an amazing team this year! Two reminders for this week: 1) The fee of $60 is due, checks are made out to Harmony Elementary with CC in the memo. 2) We are taking orders for apparel this week. Each child runner gets a cross country t-shirt, but hooded sweatshirts, sweat pants, and long sleeved t-shirts are optional. Parents can order all apparel too! We hope to have our "cross country wear" by our second meet.

Make up Practice Sunday

There will be practice this Sunday (August 19th) at 5:00 due to having had cancelled practices the last several weeks. Our first meet is coming up on Sept. 1st and we wanted to give the runners the opportunity to log more mileage and training time - it's not a mandatory practice due to late notice and it not being a regularly scheduled practice. Practices will resume to our regular schedule on Monday at 5:00.

Practices Back to Normal Schedule

Practices will return to Monday, Tuesday, Thursday at 5:00 starting tonight (Tuesday, August 14). See you then!

Practice Changes

Due to extremely hot weather conditions, we will be practicing on Tuesday, August 7th at 7:00PM. Please remember to drink water throughout the day (drinking a bottle of water 30 minutes before practice is not adequate) and also please remember to write your name on your water bottle.

Practice on Thursday, August 9th will be cancelled due to a mandatory coaches meeting. We ask that you run 1/2 mile to a mile on your own on Thursday. It would be best if you were able to do this prior to 10:00am (before it gets too hot).


Practice on Monday will be MOVED -THIS WEEK ONLY- to Sunday at 7:00PM to better accommodate parents (and teachers!) going to Open House on Monday.

We will see you at practice tomorrow, at 7:00 - please let us know if you have any questions!

Practice Starts Today!

Practices will begin this evening (Monday, August 6th) at 5:00 at Creasy Mahan. Please park at the playground. All runners must bring a current sports physical in order to participate. We will be there a few minutes early to start the paperwork.

Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Please remember that it is crucial to drink a lot of water when the heat index is this high. You can not wait to start drinking once you are thirsty - it is then too late. We also will be monitoring the heat index and will adjust our practice accordingly.
