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 join our VXC Google classroom. All interested runners should email Coach Hunkovic for the class code at hunkovicr@victorschools.org
Summer training:
All members of our Google classroom are asked to complete and submit 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 July 5th, 2021, through August 19th, 2021. We will meet on our VCS campus near backstop #16 across from the tennis courts. 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 8/2/21. No prospective XC student-athlete may participate in our preseason practices unless he or she is medically cleared. Here is the link for VCS athletic certification:

Preseason:
Mandatory preseason practices will begin on August 23rd, 2021, and run Monday through Friday from 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. until school begins. We will meet on our VCS campus near backstop #16 across from the tennis courts.
Tryouts:
All student-athletes who wish to participate on our XC team must complete the following multi-day tryout during our preseason.
-8/23/21 – 8/26/21: Dynamic warm-up evaluation
-8/30/21: Body weight/strength circuit test
-9/2/21: 5K race
The results of these evaluations will determine who makes both our boys and girls JV and varsity rosters.
Coming soon:
· Finalized 2021 race schedule and VXC contract
· Information on entrance interviews for all prospective XC runners
· Information for VXC parents from our booster representatives
Please reach out with any questions.
Sincerely,
Ross Hunkovic
Head Victor JV/Varsity Boys and Girls Cross Country Coach
