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 student-athletes 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 Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. beginning on June 28, 2022, through August 19, 2022. 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 make our JV and varsity teams. 

Medical certification:
Fall sports registration will open on 8/1/22 and close 8/18/22. No prospective XC student-athlete may participate in our Fall preseason practices unless he or she is medically cleared. Here is the website to the link for VCS athletic certification:

Preseason:
Mandatory preseason practices will begin on August 22, 2022, and run Monday through Friday from 3:15 P.M. to 5:15 P.M. until school begins. We will not practice on Labor Day. 

Tryouts:
All student-athletes who wish to participate on our XC team must complete the following multi-day tryout during our preseason. 
-8/22/22 – 8/26/22: Dynamic warm-up evaluation 
-8/29/22: Body weight/strength circuit test 
-9/1/22: 5K race 

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

Coming soon:
-Finalized 2022 race schedule and VXC contract 
-Information for VXC parents from our booster representatives 

Please reach out with any questions. 

Sincerely, 
Ross Hunkovic
