Charlotte Meet Recap

Congrats to everyone who raced this past weekend! While it was a (very) early morning, both our Men's and Women's teams came out on top! The men scored 23 points and the women scored a whopping 27 points. Amazing scores for some amazing 5ks! Congrats to everyone who got a PR!

Home Meet Sign-Up

Its time to sign up for our next meet! We will be hosting our annual Hokie Invitational on Saturday, October 14th, at Blacksburg High School. Because this venue is only a five minute drive from campus, you can wake up at a reasonable time. You can access the link here. Signups will close on Friday, October 6th. 

Please make sure you have made your NIRCA account, done IMLeagues, and paid dues beforehand. If you're not planning on racing and you are interested in volunteering for this meet, make sure to sign up here. Volunteers are very important for this meet so if you are available, I highly encourage you to help out! It's super fun, and just a few hours.

Team Hike

If you love to hike and if you are not going home for fall break, then you should join us for our annual Fall hike! We will be hiking Sawtooth Ridge in Roanoke this Friday. If you are interested in attending, please sign up here. We will be leaving Blacksburg at 10:15 am for this two-hour hike. This is a really fun opportunity to meet some new people on the team and see some pretty sites.

Tuesday 7 a.m. lift

That's right! We are bringing back our 7 a.m. lifts. Yes, it is early BUT it is a great way to strength train and it is a lot of fun! It is in the Rec Sports Field House (the big bubble). Hope to see y'all there :)

Mezeh Percentage Night on Wednesday 10/4

Do you like a nice meal after a great run? YES! Then you are in the right place. We will be having a percentage night at Mezeh (616 University City Blvd, Blacksburg, VA 24060) this Wednesday. The promotion runs from 5 pm to 10 pm but many of us will be heading over after practice (so you can definitely catch a ride). We will be getting 25% of the proceeds made, so make sure to come out and don't forget to mention that you are with club XCTF.

No Practice on Friday 10/6

Happy (almost) fall break! We will not have practice this Friday due to fall break. I hope you all have a nice day off. And please REST!! You deserve it.

Eligibility Forms

This message is VERY important for racers.  If you are interested in racing Regionals on Saturday, October 21st, you must sign the eligibility form at practice. This is a form required by NIRCA to ensure everyone is a full-time student. This is NOT a binding document, but you MUST sign it if you do plan on going. If you are interested at all in going to Regionals at all, you must sign the form. You will be able to sign the form until October 4th. If you have any questions, just ask Wyatt, Roman, or Volkan at practice.
