Summer Running Starts June 11th!!!
We want you to be part of our team!
Cross Country is sport in which everyone gets to travel and participate at every meet, no one gets left out. Most people are afraid of the distance you will have to run, but if you can run around the block, you will do fine! You will have the ability to contribute significantly to our team, even if you have never been out for cross country before. Every meet we go to has a middle school, junior varsity and a varsity level.
Run with us this summer, try it out!
Summer running will begin anytime after Monday, June 11th. Practice is held every day, Monday-Friday, at 4:00 pm in University Park (by the tennis courts). Come as often as you can make it during the summer!! For more information stop by anytime, contact one of the coaches

All teenage cross-country runners and clubs are invited to participate in the NXN Series which includes the Nike Cross Nationals Regional Championships in eight select cities across the United States.
The clubs and individuals competing in Nike Cross Nationals are selected through a series of regional qualifying events. The nine regions represented are: Heartland, Midwest, Northwest, Southwest, South, Northeast, Southeast, California and New York. There are also four at-large clubs.
Everyone on our team is eligible to participate in the NXR meet. For those wanting to run in this event, we will continue to practice after the state meet at our regular time of 4 pm, from Central High School. Anyone attending is expected to keep practicing like it’s our regular season.
This is not a school-sponsored event. We will be running under the club name of Knights XC, and traveling to this meet does require the costs to be shouldered by each person attending. I will register those that want to attend (because the teams must register together). The registration deadline is Nov 3rd. After that date I will have to charge you for those costs, even if you decide not to attend. We will be traveling with Red River’s team to this event but will be running under separate club names.
Costs
$30 Registration fee
$25 hotel room fee
$$ money for about 3 meals and souvenirs
Traveling
In previous years athletes had to get rides to the meet with their parents or find a ride with another family heading down to the meet. Again this year RR and GFC are hiring a charter bus to take us to Sioux Falls. The bus will hold 53 people and it will be first come first serve between us and RR people. We will make the bus open to parents too. The cost will be $55 per seat. We will need to know very soon if this is something again people would be interested in doing in order to reserve the bus. It is be a great way to travel as a group.
If either of our boys or girls teams qualifies for the championship division, we will be allowed to run seven athletes in those races. Anyone after the seventh runner will run in the open division. Those runners that have traveled to this meet in the past have found it to be a great way to finish the season.

Central Cross Country Philosophy
The basic philosophy of our cross country coaching staff is to promote cross country and make it a fun learning experience. Hopefully the athletes learn more than just how to run from point A to point B. The athletes will learn how to set goals and more importantly the work needed to achieve those goals. Hard work is necessary to achieve most goals, but we will prove hard work does not mean you can’t have fun in the process. High school cross country is a special sport. It is a team sport comprised of individual efforts. It demands tremendous commitment and the willingness to work hard. Cross country is a sport in which effort is rewarded in small doses. Unlike more popular spectator sports, victories are often quietly won and not widely recognized. Attaining individual success does not happen overnight, it must be earned.
Summer Running
Summer running is Monday-Friday at 4 pm in University Park (by the tennis courts). Boys or Girls 7th -12th is welcome to come anytime, its never to late to join!! Saturdays practice at 10 am will of course have doughnuts afterward!
All boys and girls from grades 7th to 12th are invited. Most people are afraid of the distance you will have to run, but if you can run around the block, you will do fine! Everyone starts with 10 minute runs until they are comfortable going farther.
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. We make things fun, by playing as frisbee football and weekly runs at Turtle River State Park.
