I am writing to share some difficult news, this week we learned that a XC runner from last year and current Senior at SMWest passed away. Emmanuel Nieves Martinez was a great friend, classmate and teammate. He always had a smile and kind word for everyone. Manny will always be remembered as a kind soul who would do anything to help a friend. God Bless his family and Heaven gained a very special angel, Rest In Peace Manny. I am attaching his obituary which includes funeral arrangements and a place to leave condolences for his family and a GoFundMe to help his family with funeral expenses. Once A Viking Always A Viking 💛🖤

The school year kicks off on Thursday. That means Cross Country season is here!

This year's meet schedule has been posted on the Valkyrie Running Club website so we can now set up Team Dinners. Much more information will come out next week at the start of the official practice season, but if your family and a few friends want to co-host a team dinner, message your preferred date below. We hold them the Thursday evening (after practice) before a race day. They are typically held at a host's house or a park/venue of your choice.

Team Dinner dates are:
Sept. 1
Sept. 8
Sept. 15
Sept. 22
Sept. 29
Oct. 6
Oct. 13
(if the team qualifies for regionals and/or state, there could be two more weeks of exciting events!)

See you all soon! Go West!

Good morning, everyone. If you haven't had a chance to log into the VRC website since last season, take some time now to do so. Coach has posted important information about the official first day of practice for the season: Aug. 15 after school at 3:30. There are several forms and required paperwork that MUST be completed before your athlete can begin practice!

Item's to be getting ready for:

Team Dinners: are you able or interested in co-hosting one the Thursday night before meets?

Time Trials: scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 27 at 8am (look for a sign-up sheet to bring brunch items, help with set-up and tear down)

Get excited about the season!
