The Columbus Mileage Challenge has begun

At the first conditioning day on Tuesday, June 23, Coach Kieser unveiled the summer mileage challenge, which is explained in a link to the right.

This will be a team-based challenge, but we need to get the ball rolling now! We only have 7 weeks to accumulate the mileage goal. This won't happen without better attendance!

Check it out and start running more...every mile matters!

Summer Conditioning about to Begin!

Mileage goals and groups have been posted on the website. Pick a group and get started! By now everybody should be back into (or starting for the first time) their running.

Next week begins our summer conditioning program. We will be meeting every Tuesday and Friday at 9:00am at South Mastick park in the Rocky River Reservation. This usually lasts at least 90 minutes for the newest runners and up to 2 hours for the older runners who are running further. The first one on June 23rd will take two hours for everybody.

These are NOT optional. If you are in town you should be attending!

Also, on your own you should be lifting weights, stretching, and doing ab work. We will take time to do these at conditioning, but like running they need to be done on a daily basis.

Congratulations New Captains!

The votes have been tallied and the 2009 cross country team has elected Gabby Kreuz, Marie McNamara, and Taylor Whisler as its captains for the fall. Congratulations to these three great young ladies as they lead us into the new school year!
