LHS Girls XC — Time Trial Results
GREAT MORNING!!! Thank you all for such a GIANT turnout! I think that was the most parents we've EVER HAD
AT A TIME TRIAL!! Jim McGuinness who has been here since inception agreed! The Lady Leopards DID NOT
DISAPPOINT! We had a great day and look as good/fast as we ever have in 4 years this morning. Veterans
led the way with smooth consistency and race knowledge, and the young ones are improving rapidly. This
promises to be another exciting season as we aim to TAKE OUR TITLE BACK!
NOTE: The parent meeting has been moved to August 11th at 6:00 PM via zoom.
We will get a link out prior to the meeting.
STRONGER. FASTER. TOUGHER. CHAMPION MINDSET. TAKIN' OUR TITLE BACK!!

LHS XC — Fundraiser
The Lovejoy Cross Country and Track Team will be kicking off our Up Tempo Fundraising campaign!
Date: Tuesday, August 5th
Time: 4:30 pm
Location: LHS Lecture Hall
This is a campaign that allows our athletes to receive donations from their families and friends. To
assist our fundraising efforts, we are asking you to help your son/daughter obtain permission for and
gather 20 email addresses and phone numbers of his/her closest supporters.
Family and friends will then receive an email directing them to the athlete’s personal web page providing
an easy way for them to donate.
Safe and Protected — Up Tempo utilizes a safe and secure online donation system. All data
is private and never redistributed. Personal information displayed is less detailed than what is
given on a team online roster or your school’s annual yearbook, with no personal information
other than name and optional picture/selfie. Your contacts are strictly private and protected,
never sold or shared.
Online donation system — Up Tempo is an online donation platform inviting potential donors
via email and social media to visit the webpage where they can easily donate and support your
program. All supporters will receive an emailed receipt for their tax-deductible gift. Reminder
emails and texts will be sent throughout the campaign with the option to unsubscribe.
We are asking you to assist your son/daughter by obtaining permission for and
gathering 20 emails and phone numbers of people closest to him/her who may be potential
donors. Your athlete will need to bring these saved in their phone notes by Tuesday, August 5th and
we will help set up his/her profile and host our “Live Kickoff” for the athletes to reach out to the
people on their list. Thank You!
We are one week closer to the season! With school starting soon, please make sure your runner is making
adjustments to their sleep schedules (getting to bed earlier) and prepping for full days ahead. Once the
stress of studies enters the picture, it becomes imperative that we are managing time wisely and
prioritizing sleep and nutrition in our daily routine.
This SATURDAY is our annual 2-mile trial. This is an important day to see how our summer training has
paid off and get some racing back into our legs before the first meet. We encourage parents to grab your
coffee and come out and cheer the team on! We will start the race at 7:00 am — athletes must
arrive by 6:30 for warm-up.
Attendance Going Forward
Please make sure your runner is at practice each day going forward. Runners who miss practice starting
August 1st or not at the time trial will not compete in the first meet of the season. Please support
your runner in making sure they are at practice each day! We have a long storied tradition of success
and the biggest component to that success is consistency and showing up to put in the work that is
required.

LHS Girls XC — Updates, Kennedie Hummel
We are one week closer to the season! With school starting soon, please make sure your runner is making
adjustments to her sleep schedules (getting to bed earlier) and prepping for full days ahead. Once the
stress of studies enters the picture, it becomes imperative that we are managing time wisely and
prioritizing sleep and nutrition in our daily routine. We will have a few big team meetings the first
week of school to revisit some of the topics covered at camp so we ensure a successful school year and
season.
Next SATURDAY is our annual 2 mile trial. This is an important day to see how our summer training has
paid off and get some racing back into our legs before the first meet. We encourage parents to grab your
coffee and come out and cheer the team on! We will start the race at 7:00
AM — athletes must arrive by 6:30 for warm-up. Athletes are divided into 4 teams, and the
top 7 on each team will score points!
Congrats to one of our runners, Kennedie Hummel, for her fourth place finish in Diving at the
AAU National Championships!
STRONGER. FASTER. TOUGHER. CHAMPION MINDSET.

LHS Girls XC — Updates, Camryn Benson
HELP! As we enter the end of summer and start heading into the new school year ... (did anyone
else's summer fly by??) ... I need your help with ensuring that our girls are getting the sleep they
need to rest and recover their bodies and brains. We have discussed at great length the importance of
nutrition and sleep ... but the action must happen. I need them getting a minimum of 8 hours of sleep
each night — although 9 is preferred. Anything less is asking for injury. As school ramps
up and homework and other activities arise, time management becomes imperative. I will teach and preach
on my end, and I would greatly appreciate you giving some reminders at home as well.
All runners will need to get a physical over the summer and have this turned in by August 1st. A doctor
of your choosing will need to complete the UIL Physical form. You can scan and email a copy to our
athletic trainer andrew_smith@lovejoyisd.net.
Athletic Paperwork: All runners and parents will need to complete all of the LISD athletic paperwork.

LHS XC Boys — Angel Fire Camp Recap
We had a great week in Angel Fire this past week! This was one of our best camps in terms or how it was
structured this year and the amount of opportunities our teams were able to interact with each other.
Thanks to Coach Littlefield for the idea of putting our runners on teams for the camp for competition
and activities. Thanks to coach Müller for helping me organize the team challenges and leading those
challenges. It was a great addition to our camp this year!
The homerun message that I talked about with our runners this week was Consistency is Key. To
get the most out of your running, be consistent!

LHS Girls XC — Camp of Champs Recap
We had a great week at camp! We had some great team meetings and lectures, and the team has set some big
goals and are ready for an amazing season ahead!
Here's the early info on the annual summer running camp for Lovejoy Boys XC. This camp is for incoming
freshmen and returning LHS runners. Runners are highly encouraged to attend if they plan to run for LHS
next school year. See below for details!
RSVP
CLICK HERE to let me know if you
plan to attend or not — you can select yes or no on the google form. Please RSVP by November
30th, 2024. This form is for me only and not shared with the camp organizers.
Current 8th Graders
I highly encourage the incoming freshman to attend this camp if they plan to run in high school. It is a
great way to get to know their teammates and the program. I spoke to the boys about this at the team
breakfast the other morning. Coach Mueller will be continuing practices two times per week this winter
and he will be working with our runners again in track season. We are super excited about having his
help at WSMS. Let's keep their success from the XC season going! Our high school program just qualified
for the State Championship for the 17th year in a row and won their 9th Regional Championship in a row.
We are looking forward to adding this talented and hard working 8th grade class to the High School
program next year!
