A few preseason reminders

Summer’s over, as our teams return to campus on Sunday for the start of a brief preseason cross country camp. A few reminders for team members returning …

For the men (women, check with Chuck for exact reporting time), meet in the McCann Lobby (near the Fitness Center) to pick up your temporary room keys (Champagnat 7th floor for men) between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.

There is no official practice on Sunday. Plan your running accordingly. Get a run in at home, or if you do it from Poughkeepsie, contact each other about possible group running times. Again, practice does not start till Monday afternoon.

A few preseason dorm reminders for the three days we will be staying in Champ as a team (note: These were send in email form as well):

--It will be HOT. There is no AC. Bring fans and prepare to sweat. The major, midsummer heat seems behind us, but the dorms can be warm.
--Bring a lot of water, Gatorade, etc. As per first item.
--Bring lots of snacks in case you get hungry throughout the day/evening. You will be able to eat 3 meals a day in the cafeteria, but you may still be hungry.
--We must leave our temporary rooms spotless for the permanent residents. We cannot move furniture or use any items in the room (refrigerators, etc).
--You can bring your own fridge and use it if you want.
--We will have a team curfew of 10 p.m. each night. Strictly enforced.
--Any behavior that is deemed unacceptable by housing, security or any coach from any other team will render you evicted from campus till the beginning of the regular semester. There is a zero tolerance policy regarding this during preseason. Don’t even think about it …
