Parent Involvement

The team relies on parent volunteers for an amazing season of activities. 

UNIFORMS. Parents assist coaches in sorting and distributing uniforms at the beginning of the season and collecting, washing, and putting away uniforms at the end of the season. If you can help, contact Sara at sara.struckman@gmail.com.

COURSE VOLUNTEERS. We will host a home meet on Friday, October 2, 2026. This takes a lot of volunteers to do packet pick-up/team check-in, to help serve as course monitors, and to help us take down the course. Contact Coach Fehrman at dylan_fehrman@dpsk12.net if you are interested in helping.

PHOTOS. Can you help collect and manage team photos from the meet each season? You can also upload your photos, view. We are working on a new platform, and will have this updated as soon as possible.

TENT TRANSPORT. The team needs help transporting the tent from meet to meet. Sign up to help with TENT TRANSPORT here.

MERCH SALES. Team merch is available and typically sold at the Season Kick-off Potluck and the End-of-Season Banquet. If you’d like to be involved in ordering and managing merch, contact Sara at sara.struckman@gmail.com.

RESTAURANT FUNDRAISERS. Parents schedule restaurant fundraisers for the team and promote the events on the website, Facebook, and through email reminders. Typically, the team hosts a restaurant fundraiser after the City meet. If you are interested in helping out, contact Kate at kshiroff@gmail.com.

END-OF-SEASON BANQUET. Typically parents of senior runners organize the banquet, but it’s open for anyone to help. This includes setting a date, securing a venue, organizing volunteers, collecting items for a silent auction, decorating, etc. If you’d like to help, contact Shane at shane_oboyle@yahoo.com.

Jodi’s Race, 6/13/26

The race runs at City Park, so this should be another great opportunity for the Cross Country team to show our support to Team Hoyt before, during, and/or after the race.
