Hope that your summer has gone well!  August is just around the corner...and the start of the season! 

Hopefully you have already registered online-I do know that Robin is getting more strict with registration deadlines, so don't delay!  Go to www.mayospartans.org to get that done.

As the start of the season approaches, the communication from me will begin to increase...but be aware that this year's communication will change...this is super-important!  

I will not be sending out emails anymore.  This is the LAST email!

Spartanfest!

Dear Mayo  ​Cross Country​ - Message from the Touchdown Club! Please consider supporting this event by attending or making a donation! Thanks!      Just a note to anyone interested in helping out the Mayo High School Athletics (including football, soccer, lacrosse, track, band, and dance line). It is the assumption that the new turf at Mayo Field has been donated by a private party or is being paid for by the school district. This is not true. We have a group of volunteers, myself included, that have a line of credit that is paying for all of the turf, the ground prep work, and installation costs including a new scoreboard. We need everyone who is interested in helping us out to forward this information to as many people as possible. We also have a major donation program for advertising on the new scoreboard that is being offered which is extremely affordable for a 15 year deal. If anyone is interested in advertising or purchasing tickets, Please reply to my email or you can call me at 507-951-1962. Ticket info is also on the attachment which can be purchased at Fraser Construction located behind the old Fleet Farm, by Northstar Brick and KBS building supply or purchased at the door. You are also welcome to pick up multiple tickets to sell yourselves if you're interested. Any parents or alumni that can help us sell tickets would much appreciated and WE NEED YOUR HELP. If you cannot make it, cash and other donations for raffle are welcome of course.  Thank You Mitch Hagen       mhagen5420@msn.com

Summer Running Club Info-Message from Coach Brett

We will be changing things this year and will not be holding a running camp this year.  We will however have set dates that we will plan to meet with runners from the area.  Coaches will attend most of the workouts but there are a few dates mixed in that coaches at this point are not able to attend due to summer plans so we will communicate with the older students as far as what the plan for the day will be similar to what a captains practice or open gym would be like.
June 23rd-July 30
Time:  9:00-10:30 am
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Location - Silver Lake Gazebo by the swimming pool/big playground.

The week of July 4th we will not meet as this is a Minnesota State High School League non-contact period. 
Please sign up for communication through remind 101 (https://www.remind101.com/join/mayocc) .  Texts will be sent about changes that may occur due to weather.  If you would prefer to be contacted through email please email Brett Carroll at brcarroll9@gmail.com.
