9/12/24 - FYI - this was just posted on the Cross Country Google classroom for students:

Hello Cross Country Participants.
We know you are anxiously awaiting the list of the Travel team, however, due to the unfortunate cancellation of late buses, there were several people who were unable to try out because they did not have a ride home. Also, there were so many runners with times very similar to each other, we feel it only fair to have one last time trial on Tuesday.
All participants should come ready to run on Tuesday, September 17. If you can't make it, you must let either Mrs. Boni or Mrs. Bardy know.
Have a good weekend. Make sure to run at least one day this weekend!

2024 Cross Country Information:    

There will be an informational meeting on Thursday, September 5, 2024 at 7:30AM in the WMS gym. 

The WMS Cross Country team consists of two teams traveling together: Boys and Girls.  There is space for 14 girls and 14 boys. Cross Country meets usually consist of a two mile run. Tryouts are on Wednesday, September 11 and Thursday, September 12 after school until 4:00PM.  Tryouts will consist of a 1.5 mile run.  The top fourteen finishers (male/female) will be on the travel team.  However, any athlete who tries out and chooses to remain on the team will be on the training team.  Those on the training team who come to practices will be included in the HOME meets.   

Practices are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (on non-meet days) after school until the end of after school activities (3:50 pm), depending on the weather.  If there is a meet on a Monday, one of the practice days will be canceled. There will be no practice on meet days.

Visitors are welcome to all meets to cheer on the athletes.  Home meets usually start between 3:30 and 3:45 (depending on the other team’s arrival) and they end around 4:30. Students will need a ride home.

We expect all athletes to try their hardest and to be kind to each other. You represent your school, your coaches, your families and yourselves. Please always encourage each other and the other teams. Always show good sportsmanship. Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.

On away meet days, the bus leaves immediately after school and typically arrives back at school between 5:00 and 5:30 PM.  Please keep in contact with your parent/guardian and arrange to have someone at WMS to pick you up when the bus arrives. The coaches will not leave until all athletes are picked up so please be respectful of the coaches’ time as we have our own personal and family obligations. Your spot will be in jeopardy if you cannot abide by these guidelines.

This year’s schedule so far is as follows: 

INFORMATIONAL MEETING - September 5 at 7:30AM - WMS gym

TRYOUTS September 11 and 12 until 3:50 - take late bus home

Meet schedule so far:

9/26 - at Summit

9/30 - Home vs Greenbrook

10/8 – at South Plainfield

10/10 - at Greenbrook

10/22 - Home vs Longhill

Please subscribe to this Cross Country page on Mrs. Boni’s website for updates on changes to meets or cancellation of practices.

Directions to meets are on the WMS website under “Activities and Athletics” or at: 

https://www.warrentboe.org/schools/middle/activities/directions/

What to bring to tryouts, practices and meets:

  • WATER or Gatorade
  • Running shoes and singlet/jersey (provided by team), running shorts (blue or black)
  • If it is COOL, bring warm up pants, and jacket/sweatshirt to stay warm in between events.  It is important to keep muscles warm
  • If it is rainy, bring rain gear.  Athletes will run in the rain, but not if there is thunder and lightning
  • If you need to leave a meet early be sure to let the coach know prior to leaving
  • Spectators are always welcome!

Any questions or concerns, Mrs. Boni can be reached at: kboni@warrentboe.org and Mrs. Bardy can be reached at: dbardy@warrentboe.org.  We look forward to a fun and successful season!

Mrs. Boni and Mrs. Bardy
