2018 Summer Information

Rogers Cross Country Runners

Welcome to a proud tradition of Rogers Cross Country. My name is Mr. Zentz and I will be your cross-country coach. I am looking forward to a great experience and hope to help you achieve your goals and become a life-long runner. For us to achieve great things, we need to be active with our communication, diligent in our work and, most importantly, have fun.

The following information packet is filled with the details needed to continue the success of the Rogers’ Cross-Country program.  Within the packet find the following items; a detailed account of how to be eligible to attend summer workouts, a summer workout schedule, a Puyallup School District grade check, and a running log.  Please take the time to read the entire packet.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the above phone number or email.

I am excited to begin the summer workouts and I look forward to having the opportunity to grow as a team.

Ken Zentz

How do I become eligible to participate in the summer workouts?

·       Athletes wanting to participate in the summer workouts will need to be cleared through the Athletic Office (Mr. Collins).

o    All track athletes that have participated in the 2018 season need to see Mr. Collins for an updated blue card.  You are responsible for getting the Blue Card from Mr. Collins to me.

o    If you are new to sports and have not filled out the district paperwork, please find a copy in the main office and complete all the necessary district requirements to become eligible.

o    If you participated last winter or fall.  Please see Mr. Collins for a new blue card or one that is on file.

o    If you are new to Rogers or going into 9^th grade, please contact the athletic office @ 253-841-8717.  They will lead you through the necessary paperwork. 

o    No athletes will participate in summer workouts without being cleared.  Please remember that Mr. Collins will only clear athletes until the end of school.

o    This paperwork will need to be repeated in Aug. 2018 for the Fall season.  Summer clearance is different from Fall Season Clearance.  Fall Clearance for XC is on Aug. 16^th, 2018 from 8am-12pm.

Summer Schedule:

·       Summer workouts will begin on June 4, 2018. 

·       Summer Practices will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.  During the remainder of the school year practices will start @ 2:30. Once school is out for summer, practices will begin at 8:00 am behind the school by the track.

·       Tentative Starting Schedule

o    June 9^th- Rogers High School 50^th 5k

o    June Shoe Fitting @ South Sound Running- TBD

o    July 26-28, 2018 South Hill Running XC Camp

o    Fall Clearance Aug. 16^th, 2018 8am-12pm

2000 Minute Club

At the beginning of each summer we challenge all athletes to run at least 2000 minutes in the off season.  This year we will be rewarding athletes that complete at least 2000 minutes by July 31, 2018 with a 2000-minute club t-shirt.  We realize that the summer is a busy time, but we also know that hard work will be rewarded with amazing results.  One of the keys to a successful summer running program is accountability.  Submitting weekly minutes benefits everyone…those doing the work receive the recognition they deserve and those struggling to stay focused will receive the support they need.   Here is how it works:

Reporting Minutes:  You will need to log and report your mileage to Coach Zentz each week.  The easiest way to do this is to send an email to zentzkc@puyallup.k12.wa.us.  Please submit these by midnight each Saturday.  If you do not have access to email, either ask a teammate to submit your miles for you or text Coach Zentz. 

Make sure to give the following information each Saturday.

·       Name

·       Your minutes for the seven days ending that Saturday

·       Your minutes from the start of the summer(June 4 being the first day)

Schoology:  Coach Zentz will compile the information and send out new workouts and information via Schoology.  Access Code: 22VR9-C454D

If you have computer access or smart phone access please download Schoology so you can stay up to date on all new information.

Charity Miles

Charity Miles provides runners with a special incentive to get out and run.  By downloading the free App for your smart phone, you can begin logging miles for a charity of your choice.  It is not mandatory to use the Charity Miles App when you run, but if you want added incentive to run then please run for your favorite charity.  As a team we can train, get in shape and most importantly practice servant leadership that can change people’s lives.  Please consider running for a cause.  You can learn more about Charity Miles by going to the following web address http://www.charitymiles.org/.

Questions:  If you have questions about summer running please don’t hesitate to call Coach Zentz at 253-341-0047
