BFHS Cross Country season is just around the corner. Head Coach Tyler Warner would like to invite interested high school athletes to the first team practice on August 14 at 4:00 p.m. Athletes should park in the student parking lot at the high school, and at 4:00 p.m. a team meeting will take place in Room 2 (Coach Warner’s room) at the High School. Parents are welcome to attend as well. After a team meeting about paperwork and team rules, the team will go for a run and should dress accordingly and bring water. Coach Warner would also like to remind athletes to have their physicals completed before coming to practice if possible. Coach Warner is entering his third season as the Badgers' coach, and is coming off a year where the boys’ team qualified for state for the seventh consecutive year, and one girl qualified as an individual. Coach Warner was also named the District I 3A Coach of the Year for Cross Country last year. The boys plan on returning with 5 varsity starters from last year, including seniors Alva Swanson, Nolan Stidham, and Jack Wade. The girls will return all of the starters from last year, including seniors Hannah Lysne and Victoria Smith as well as junior Nicole Donn who was in the top 25 at state last year. State this year will take place at Farragut State Park near Athol. Coach Warner can be reached at tyler.warner@mail.bcsd101.com for more information.
