Crystal Lake Central Cross Country

Girl's 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

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 1st.  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 to 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 distances 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 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 Official Cross Country season begins on Monday, August 10th. There will be a team meeting

at 3:00 PM in the fieldhouse, followed by practice.

 

Looking forward to seeing you and having a great season!
