On Monday, Aug. 4, Fike will host its first official practice in the second annual Midnight Mile Madness. Runners should report to the Fike track at 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 3 for group warm up/stretch and also be prepared for a quality session on the track. Parents are welcome to stay or be prepared to pick up their runner at 1 a.m. Athletes will not be permitted to practice without a physical form that has been turned into the Fike Athletic Department. Due to the late start time, this practice will not be mandatory, however, all those interested in running this fall are encouraged to attend. For those that cannot, practice will be held at 6 p.m.
On Wednesday, Aug. 13, the inaugural Fike Alumni/Parents meet will be held. Any Fike cross country or track alumni and parents of current or past teams are welcome to compete against the 2008 cross country team in a 5-kilometer event at the course at J. Burt Gillette Athletic Complex. The race will be held on the Fike home course beginning at 6 p.m. There is no charge to enter this social event.
