The Club Northwest Youth Cross Country Team is for athletes aged 5-18 who love to run and are interested in learning more about the sport of cross country, as well as more experienced runners interested in future Junior Olympic races. (Most competitors are 5-15, with older kids joining the team after their middle school cross country season ends.) Practices will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30. Start times may shift later in the season when darkness becomes an issue. Practices begin August 29 and end on November 2. Please contact Coach Deborah Fletcher directly at dfletch1970@msn.com for more information. Questions regarding registration and joining Club Northwest can be directed to Rick Albright at tonicella@hotmail.com.

PRACTICE LOCATION
Our first practice will be on the track at College Place Middle School, 7501 208th St SW, Lynnwood WA 98036. (Although College Place has a Lynnwood address, it is just north of Edmonds-Woodway High School.) Future practice locations may be held at various locations in the Edmonds and Shoreline area, depending on the type of workout on any particular day and any potential conflicts at College Place. If you miss the first practice, please contact Deborah Fletcher at the email address listed above for more information.
Parents are welcome to stay during practices, and if energetic may wish to do their own workout.
