Summer Running for Cross Country
Summer running will begin Monday, June 10. Practice is held Monday-Friday at 4:00 pm in University Park (by the tennis courts.)
The main reason our teams have been successful is the training we do during the summer. By running during the summer as a team, you will develop the strength needed to improve your times and also contribute to our history of excellent cross country runners. The club is organized to provide beneficial off-season training; additionally, we participate in many fun activities such as Frisbee football, weekly runs at Turtle River State Park, and a camping trip to Bemidji State Park.

The club fee is $75. This fee includes a USATF membership, a performance t-shirt, meet registration fees, All entries and USATF memberships will be taken care of for the athletes by the club.
For sprint/hurdle/jump/vault/multi-event training, there is also a $75 coaching/training fee. Regardless of whether or not the athlete competes in the summer meets, he/she will still receive a USATF membership. Between all of the coaches, this will allow you to train, at the least, two sessions per week. It's entirely possible that more than two sessions per week will be available. That will all depend on coach and athlete availability throughout the week.The club fee and coaching/training fee brings the summer total to $150.
**FYI: This fee does not include transportation or lodging to any meets. Those costs must be furnished by the athlete.
