Monta Vista cross country had the honor, and responsibility, of holding the first practice of any Monta Vista team in more than three months!
There were lots of preparation and planning needed, but Tuesday June 23 saw the cross country team get started with a solid run. Masks, social distancing protocols, and all the planning was worth it–we were out running with our teammates again!
This is the start of a first three-week section for a single ‘cohort’ of teammates and coaches. We are not planning a lot of hard training–these sessions are replacing our normal summer running, which is mostly easy distance. After this three initial three weeks, the plan is to reorganize and have more cohorts with the potential for dozens of runners to train in safe and socially distanced groups. Please contact Coach Flatow at coachflatow@gmail.com if you want to join a summer training group.
It is great to see kids back together; this is a big step forward after our three month isolation. We are still six feet apart, but MVXC is closer than ever.
