3. DO NOT make excuses. Do your BEST each and every day.
4. STAY patient. Fast times/improvements do not happen in one day, one week, one month or even in one year. It's a long process. Be confident but stay humble!!!
5. Must maintain a 2.0 grade pointwithout “F’s” in any classes.
6. Log daily on XC Stats by 9 pm.

12. DO NOT be a "bad apple" and infect all the other apples. Meaning, if you don't want to practice, don't put pressure on others not practice. THIS IS CANCER!!
13. It is the job of all the experienced ET track and field athletes to help “mentor” (assist and teach) all newer teammates to become more comfortable with the El Toro program. Leave something to the younger runners, not just how fast you ran but good set of examples that you could be proud of 40 years from now.
