 Physical rechecks for cross country runners -The Baldwinsville School District has announced that physical rechecks for any student planning on running cross country in the fall will be held on Monday, August 17th. The rechecks will be held in the health office at Durgee Junior High School from 8AM to 3:00PM. Any student who is not able to complete their recheck on this date should contact the Athletic Office (638-6053) for an alternate date. Runners are NOT allowed to participate in team practices until they have presented a form from the nurse verifying that they have been checked.
Harriers award $1100 in camperships - Eleven members of last year's cross country team will be attending Aim High Running Camp this summer with the assistance of the Baldwinsville Harriers. Each runner will receive a $100 check from the Harriers to help offset the camp fee. The money for the camperships is provided from the profits of the Baldwinsville XC Invitational and individual donations.
Coach Foster to step down as head coach - Coach Mike Foster called a special meeting of last fall's cross country team on Monday, May 4th, to announce to team members that he has decided to retire as head coach. Foster has coached in the cross country program since arriving at Baldwinsville in 1976. He became the head coach in 1982. Although he plans to continue teaching chemistry for the 2009-2010 school year, he explained that he felt it was time to step back from coaching. Foster also said that he will continue to serve as meet director for the Baldwinsville Cross Country Invitational, as well as providing results for the OHSL National Division Championships and home dual meets. Coach Foster has recommended to the Athletic Director that assistant coach Jason Glashauser be appointed as the new head coach. However, coaching appointments for next fall are not expected to be finalized and approved by the Board of Education until later in the spring.
