No More Practices, Class Ended 10/10/2013

The class was scheduled from September 4 - October 10. The class ended last week and we are no longer practicing.

The future looks fabulous for both the girls and boys teams...but to be more successful and competitive, cross country runners MUST run during the summer months so they are physically ready to begin QAULITY training and SPEED WORK in September, vs. base building and experiencing knee pain, shin splits and other injuries in September.  Please check this blog site for future updates regarding our summer running club. The club starts running in June and there is no registration or fees. Please email Coach Craig (crandallcraig@msn.com) if you would like to be included in the running club's email list and prepare to be GREAT next September.  A successful cross country season ALWAYS begins in the summer with base building miles...it's too late to start in September.
