Dear prospective Victor cross-country runners and parents,  

I hope this letter finds you well. 

Here is some important information relating to our fall season. 

Student-athlete communication:
All prospective XC runners must meet our coaching staff and join our VXC Google classroom. All interested runners should email Coach Hunkovic for the class code at hunkovicr@victorschools.org

Summer training:
All prospective XC runners will complete a preseason survey. I will create an individualized training program for each athlete, based on the results from this survey.

OTA’s:
VXC will host optional team activities on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. beginning on 6/26, 2023, through August 17^th, 2023. We will meet at various locations on our VCS campus that will be communicated through our Google classrooms. While these practices are optional, they are strongly encouraged for all prospective XC runners who hope to perform well at our preseason tryouts. 

Medical certification:
No prospective XC student-athlete may participate in our preseason practices unless he or she is medically cleared. Registration will open mid summer. Here is the link for VCS athletic certification:

Preseason:
Mandatory preseason practices will begin on August 21, 2023, and run Monday through Friday from 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M.

Tryouts:
All student-athletes who wish to participate on our XC team must complete the following multi-day tryout during our preseason. 
-8/21/23 – 9/1/23: Dynamic warm-up evaluation 
-8/29/23: Body weight/strength circuit test 
-8/31/23: 5K race 

The results of these evaluations will determine who earns spots on both our boys and girls JV and varsity rosters. 

Coming soon:

• Finalized 2023 race schedule

Please reach out with any questions. 

Sincerely, 
Ross Hunkovic
