CROSS-COUNTRY
The 2008 cross-country season of the club gets underway as the school season is winding down. We will begin registering runners on October 25, 2008. Our first practice will be on Saturday, October 25, 9:30 am at Daniel Boone High School. Practices will be at Daniel Boone on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:00 pm and on Saturdays at 9:30 am. Check the flyer with cross-country information for the actual practice schedule. High school runners can practice only after their school season is over but we ask that you go ahead and register early.
We are also looking for volunteer coaches that could meet with runners in their local geographic area to help train the runners and eliminate some of the travel time for practice.
Contact Brian Buckner at brian@slipstreamtrackclub.com for further information.

Cross-Country Age Groups
Cross-country in club competition is a little different than school teams in the makeup of a specific team within an age group. While a school team is made up of runners of different ages and grades from that school to make up one team, the club team must put 5-8 runners of the same age group together to make up a team for that particular age group. We are also capable of running more than one team in each age group.
To qualify for the AAU Nationals a runner must run in the AAU Southeastern District Track & Field Championships and either finish on one of the top three teams in their age group of place in the top 20 of runners not on one of the three teams.
Over the years, our club has an 100% qualifying percentage to AAU Nationals.
