Crystal Lake Central Cross Country
Summer Running
Anyone interested in joining the men’s or women’s cross country team at CLC this
fall can join us for summer running.
What is summer running?
Summer running is a time to get to know your teammates and get some miles in
before we start in August. It is imperative for the success of the fall season. It is also
an opportunity to learn some of the routes that we run during the year.
Where do we meet?
Girls Run 7:30 AM / Boys Run 8:00 AM
We will meet Monday-Friday outside in front of the auxiliary gym at CLC by the
loading dock. Please come ready to run, we do not give out lockers.
When does it start?
It will start on Monday, June 2nd. You must register for summer running here: Register Online
What if I cannot make it to summer running but I want to run in the fall?
Summer running is not mandatory. A coach will be there most days, but there will
be times when a coach is not present. This program is run by the athletes to prepare
for the season. You can come every day if you can make it, or show up when you
can. If you can’t make it at all, you can still run in the fall, but putting in miles
before the start of the season is crucial to the success of your season and preventing
injuries. Therefore, it is important that you at least run on your own.
What if I have never run cross country before?
If you have never run long distance before DON’T WORRY! There are different
groups that run different distances every day and at different paces. Distance
running is something that you have to build up to so you can start slow and work
your way up to longer mileage.
What if I have more questions?
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact Bill Eschman, men’s coach at
weschman@d155.org or Brett Willhoit, women’s coach at bwillhoit@d155.org.
Also, please contact us if you are interested in running
this fall but will not be at summer running, so we can give you more information.
The Offiical Cross Country season begins on Monday, August 11th. There will be at team meeting
at 3:00PM. in the fieldhouse, followed by practice.
Looking forward to seeing you and having a great season!
