We’ve had a tradition for about 10 years…
and for the fifth time in seven years now, after BOTH teams qualify, the
coaches are proud to organize a book for the runners to read and enjoy on their
trip down to Peoria. It contains
information about the meet, a puzzle or two, and most importantly, letters from
their families, friends, Kaneland alumni, community members and others who felt
inclined to share.
We solicit these letter attachments to
email, offering a chance to share advice, thoughts, quotes and inspiration to
ALL of the runners on the team. If you
know of anyone who may enjoy the chance to send something along to the TEAM,
please have them do so.

There
will be ONE BOOK with letters to both the girls and boys teams.
Parents: ALL parents of runners on the State Teams
should make a two-fold letter. First, please address your letter to your
athlete. Let them know how proud you are
of them. Write what is in your
heart. They will likely save this book
for years to come. Second,
please add another section dedicated to the team(s). Advice, thoughts, inspiration or otherwise would
be appropriate.
Guidelines: We
will be assembling this book on Thursday.
ALL LETTERS TO THE TEAM MUST BE RECEIVED VIA EMAIL ON THURSDAY at
NOON. If you do not make the deadline, there will be no guarantee that your
letter will be included in the bound edition. ALL EMAILED LETTERS SHOULD BE SENT TO: kanelandxc@gmail.com
Letters should be kept to one page in
length, if possible (small font).
As always, we appreciate the support that
our extended Kaneland Community provides us.
If you know of someone who would like to offer something to make this
book even more special, please pass along the guidelines and details here.
Thank you for your help in making this
special KXC tradition a reality.
Address for emailing letters: kanelandxc@gmail.com
