As always, thank you all for your loving support of your team, coaches, and Kaneland.

Your Letter - Our Book

Your Letter – Our Book

We’ve had a tradition for about 12 years… and the coaches are proud to organize a book for the State qualifying 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, as well as to Rachel Richtman, our individual qualifier on the girls side.  If you know of anyone who may enjoy the chance to send something along to the team and/or to Rachel, please have them do so.

·      There will be ONE BOOK with letters to both Rachel and the boys team.

Parents:  ALL parents of runners on the State Team 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/Rachel.  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 WEDNESDAY 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.
