Lakeland Cross Country… Run Fast, Run Smart!
SUMMER OPTIONAL RUNS
SUMMER OPTIONAL RUNS
We will be meeting this summer on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These are optional runs; however, we highly encourage you to attend as many as possible. If you attend at least ten out of sixteen runs this summer, that will help you in possibly receiving a varsity letter this year in XC. While we will meet as a team twice a week, you should be running 4-5 days per week total, and you should be building up your mileage over the summer. By the time official practices begin on August 8, you should have worked your way up to running for 30+ minutes straight 4-5 days per week.

2022 SEASON KICK-OFF CAMP
2022 Season Kick-Off Camp
This summer we are having our first ever campout to kick off the season. We will be spending July 25th-26th at Camp Lutherhaven, participating in a ropes course, team bonding activities, running, goal setting, swimming, and having a great time. Team funds are paying for a large portion of this, but each athlete will need to pay $30 to help cover the cost of the high ropes course and food. If this is a financial hardship for your family, please let one of the coaches know. We are looking forward to two days of fun and team bonding.
Please put the dates on your calendar because this will be
an event that you do not want to miss.
REMIND TEXT MESSAGES
Anyone interested in XC should sign up for Remind text messages. You can also sign up in the app if you have it. We do most of our communication via Remind, so both athletes and parents are encouraged to join. Do so right away if you are considering joining the team this fall so you don’t miss out on summer activities!
