We are less than one week away from the official start of required OEXC practice (get those physicals turned in as soon as possible)! As the new season starts, here are a few dates to put on your calendar:
- Parent/Booster Club meeting: Wednesday, August 15th at 7pm – OE Drama Auditorium – meet the coaches and Booster Club members to find out how you can be a part of this awesome team. It takes lots of hands to make this a successful season – consider volunteering for the many open spots on our Sign-Up Genius. We will talk more about opportunities at the meeting too!
- Donut Run: Saturday, August 25th – race starts at 8am (this is a definite must-see event – come early to see the team introductions around 7:45am).
- Pizza Shoppe Fundraiser – Wednesday, September 12th – This is our only fundraiser of the season so spread the word to friends, family and neighbors that they can take a break from cooking that night and support OEXC runners at the same time!
- Spirit Wear – Deadline will be announced at the meeting, but here is a link to check out all the OEXC cross country items: OE Hawks Nest
Coaching Staff Change: This year we say good-bye to Coach Miller. She was named the head cross country and head girls basketball coach at Oregon Trail Middle School – we wish her all the best!
A warm welcome goes out to Kelsey Lathrop as she heads back to Olathe East – this time as a coach! Kelsey graduated from Olathe East in 2014 and went on to run at Wichita State University. We are excited to have her back!
OEXC Alumni Note: The wedding of Kayla Davis and Anders Hanson (Class of 2016) took place on July 28th and was officiated by our very own Coach Gunn! Congratulations Kayla and Anders Hanson!
Stay tuned for more information as we start another great OEXC Season.
GO HAWKS!
