2016 Cross Country tryouts will be held Wednesday August 10th from 4-5pm at the Blackman High School Track. Students may arrive at the track with their parents at 4pm, or they may go to Coach White's classroom (701) once they've been released from their dismissal class at 3:30pm. Coach White will walk those students over to the high school track as a group. Students should change into their athletic attire before arriving in Coach White's classroom or to the track for tryouts. All participating athletes should be picked up at the high school track at 5pm. We will not be returning to the middle school after tryouts.
***The day after tryouts (Thursday August 11th) There will be a parent meeting at 6:30pm in the BMS cafeteria for parents of those who make the team. Athletes are also welcome if they desire.)
