Saturday Trail Run update

Saturday’s run will be in Douglas County. We will meet at 8:00 am at the student parking lot (note that the farmer’s market on Espanade will make it hard to come in from that side) and we will caravan to Mountain Vista High School to run 45 – 75 minutes on the Douglas County Open Space trail. Parents are welcome to run with us!

Friday Fun (and delicious) Run

Posted on by

This Friday 4pm:

Join Coach Scudamore at the northeast corner of Cheesman Park (where 12th Ave enters the park on the east side) for a short shakeout run. We will then do some strength and range of motion work in the shade before walking over to Liks (13th and Vine) for ice cream. Bring money for ice cream. Athletes can put their things in Coach Scudamore’s car during the workout. 

See you there!

Reminder: Summer Training XC Kick Off Meeting, Tues, May 24

We will host our summer kick off meeting on Tuesday, May 24 at 6:00pm in the East Commons (lunch room).

We will talk about summer practice, summer running camp and our weekend fun runs.  This is also a great way for new runners to meet the coaches and for current runners to reconnect with teammates and coaches.  Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. 

Although summer practice isn’t required, it is a fantastic way to be prepared for the fall season and to connect with new and old running friends.

Weekend Fun Runs:  

The “Friday Fun Run” has been changed to the Weekend Fun Run.  These are trail runs led by coaches that start away from the school.  They may be on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, we will post the schedule on the website. The summer team will car pool to a destination and go for a long trail run.  Full disclosure: they may or not be “fun” while you are running them, but it is fun to feel good after you are done. 

Team Captains: 

If you are going to be a senior in the fall and are interested in becoming an XC team captain, stay tuned about the application process.  We will be selecting fall team captains before summer practice begins. 

“Cross country champions are made in the summer.”
