With the school year and spring sports officially over, it is time to recover for a moment and start thinking about the fall. Cross Country season is coming up soon, and with that are summer miles, meeting new people, and challenging our own personal limitations.
We will begin our summer conditioning as a whole team on Monday, June 19th at South Mastick Picnic area in the Rocky River park, but there will be a new runner's only conditioning day on Friday June 16th at the same spot. This is meant to give new runners a little familiarity before the whole group shows up.
This year we are welcoming 3 new coaches to the fold joining Coach Jarc and myself. Sheila Peters Vance ('01) is a grad of the program and has come around occasionally to get a few miles in. She will be joining another alum, Alexis Bloor ('15) as first-timers to our cc staff. Coach Bloor has been the PV coach for the track team the past 3 years, but she has a new-found appreciation for longer runs and would like to be involved. Also joining the staff will be Christina Actis, the new PE teacher at SJA. Mrs. Actis comes to us from St. Angela's where she taught PE and coached the cc team. Welcome to all!
Running is a simple activity, but racing is another beast all together. In order to race you must train, which is a structured form of running. The most successful programs do this TOGETHER. Let's set the tone early this summer and get going with our summer miles.
Go Jags!
