Coach Rooks

Athletics

 

Welcome to Cross Country and Tennis for the 2012/2013 season.  I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to coach two wonderful sports and work with the people who are associated with them.  I am looking forward to the start of both sports and hoping for the best from each students I come in contact with.  As I begin to think about the coming season, below are a few things I would like you to keep in mind. 

Cross Country Season for 2012

  The actual start date for the season will begin August 6th, 4:00, at the college. Cross Country participants and anyone who wants to run, will meet at the college July 9th 2012 at 9:00 to work on building distance and conditioning. For more details, contact Coach Rooks via phone or email.
