Salute To Seniors is a medium for "senior farewells". We invite this year's seniors to tell their stories from the past four years.
The series will run from now into the summer, please note that there is usually a large queue of submissions so there may be a wait until final posting.
Please Submit Early, Window Will Close July 1st
There are a few options when submitting a senior farewell..
- You can answer the questions below in Q&A format... or...
- You can create your own farewell to high school XCTF such as a letter to the sport or even utilizing the questions in a longer written format.
Email your responses titled Salute to Senior: (name) along with some pictures to robert.kellert@flosports.tv. The email title is important so your submission isn't lost.
Please try to use MileSplit photos when possible. If not a MileSplit photo the photographer name and their permission to use said image is required, we cannot use non-MileSplit photos without direct permission from the photographer. Images taken by a family member are obviously allowed as well.
If you have photos on MileSplit you can link them in the email and we'll get a higher resolution version. Please let us know which pictures belong to which photographer. This all helps with managing the great volume of submissions each year.
