During the first week of school, conditioning will continue. It will take place at school from 3:30-4:45pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday (August 6th, 8th, and 9th). On Monday, meet Coach Brainerd at the front of the school. On Wednesday and Thursday, students should meet at Coach Brainerd's room (701) after dismissal. Please continue to bring a water bottle to conditioning!
Tryouts will be held on Friday, August 10th after school. Any student in grades 6-8 with all the completed sports forms (physical, etc.) will be eligible to tryout. (Note: You do not have to have attended conditioning to tryout.) Meet Coach Brainerd at her room (701) after dismissal. We will use the track at BHS to run a mile and a half (approx. 6 laps). Parents, please pick-up your child by 4:30pm from the high school. Students who make the team will be announced Friday evening. If your child makes the team, there will be a parent meeting on Monday, August 13th following practice at 5:15pm.

Due to inclement weather, conditioning for today (Monday, July 30th) is canceled. If the weather clears up, I encourage you to run on your own at home for 25 minutes.
Conditioning will resume as scheduled on Wednesday. -Coach Brainerd The About page has been updated with the tentative schedule for meets. Practice information as well as the fee is forthcoming. I will update this by the end of this week.
Tryouts will take place at the first week of school directly after school. This information will also be posted soon. Conditioning is still happening! Join us Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week at 5:30pm at the Thompson Lane Greenway Trailhead. Make sure you have an updated physical and required forms! Summer conditioning will begin next week!
As of now, all conditioning will take place at the Thompson Lane Greenway Trailhead (turn to the left parking lot as you enter) Wednesday, July 25th: 5:30-6:45pm Thursday, July 26th: 5:30-6:45pm Friday, July 27th: 8:30am-9:45am (Please note the morning time) Monday, July 30th: 5:30-6:45pm Wednesday, August 1st: 5:30-6:45pm Thursday, August 2nd: 5:30-6:45pm Summer conditioning is a chance for students to get in shape for the season and a great chance to check out the sport if they are new. Conditioning is not required. Come to any or all that you are available. Coming to conditioning does not guarantee you a spot on the team. (This will be determined by tryouts.) Parents, you are welcome to stay for conditioning or drop your child off and return at the ending time. Make sure your child has plenty of water! Also, before attending conditioning, a physical MUST be completed. You can either have it uploaded into the Dragonfly system or bring a paper copy to Coach Brainerd at conditioning. If you have any additional questions about physicals, see the About page on this website or contact Mr. Festervand at BMS. I am looking forward to meeting you! Let me know if you have any additional questions by filling out the contact form on the blog or e-mailing me at my school e-mail address ([email protected]) Thanks, Coach Brainerd Thanks for visiting the BMS Cross Country Website!
Information is coming soon about summer conditioning! Conditioning is tentatively scheduled for the last two weeks of July. Tryouts will not take place until the first or second week of school in the fall of 2018. Coach White will not be returning in the fall to Blackman Middle School, as she is getting married and moving to Portland, Oregon, where her husband's job as a pilot will be based. She will miss coaching all the wonderful athletes that run for the cross country team at BMS, and wishes everyone the best! Coach White will be handing over the reigns to Coach Anna Brainerd, who is excited and ready to go! |
