Westside Track Club will begin their youth cross country season with practices beginning the week of August 22. Practices will be held each Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. The weekday practices will begin promptly at 5:30pm and end by 6:45pm. Saturday Practices will begin promptly at 8:00am, and end by 9:15am. Practices will rotate among several locations, but will be primarily at Crossroads Park and Southwoods Park, in West Des Moines, and at Urbandale Middle School.
There is very little cost for participation. A one-time participation fee of $10 must be paid for each team member, and there is normally be a nominal entry fee for each running event in which a team member chooses to participate.
Our season runs from the first practice date of August 22 to potentially early-December, for those who qualify for the national youth cross country championships. Youth who participate in cross country for their school are welcome to join us any time during our season. The Team will be coached by Craig Calhoun, Cathy Evans and Todd Evans.
