Who wants to run fast in Arizona in November?

Posted on by
The Nike Southwest Cross Country Regional is at the Casa Grande Sports Complex on November 23rd. A handful of athletes from East have traveled to this race each year and have had a great time running great times. We are hoping to compete as a team for the first time ever.
Meet information here: NXR Southwest Info
Registration is due November 12th. To compete as a team, we much register as a team. So athletes should not yet register themselves. Please let Coach Kohuth or Coach Scudamore know if you plan to make the trip ASAP – by November 5th at the latest – so we can organize our registrations.
East Coaches will continue to coach interested athletes (and anyone else who wants to continue training) through this Regional Championship.
Athletes must arrange their own transportation to Phoenix, Arizona. If athletes arrive Thursday evening after 6pm or Friday morning by noon, the coaches may be able to help provide ground transportation to Casa Grande for the race and to hotels.
Athletes and their families will need to support the cost of the trip, but if there is sufficient interest, we may be able to pool costs for ground transportation and shared hotel rooms.
Please email Coach Scudamore with questions. (ddscudamore@gmail.com)

Follow up – Angel Invite

Posted on by

Thanks to everyone, the Angel Invite was a successful meet!  The dozens of parent volunteers made the meet go as smooth as possible.  We are so grateful for our parents and their willingness to help the team!

Here are some stats from our meet:

  • We hosted 28 teams (including East)
  • 561 runners finished the Angel Invite
  • In our fundraising efforts, we made $153 from the Kona Ice Truck, $260 from Chipotle and $190 from merchandise sales!
  • We had over 48 parent volunteers, 8 coaches, 2 operations volunteers, 2 DPS athletics employees, 2 East mountain bike team members, 2 athletic trainers, an athletic director and an East administrator.  All of whom worked seamlessly together to make the Angel Invite happen.
  • Last but not least, we had our amazing East Angel xc runners.  Of course, they are accomplished runners, but they also were excellent hosts to their guests from the other 27 schools.

We have the honor of hosting the regional meet on Friday, October 18.  Now that we are warmed up, let’s do this again!  Please volunteer by clicking here:  Volunteer Sign Up for Regional Meet  School will not be in session on Friday, Oct 18.

Thank you for all you do for the Denver East Cross Country experience!
