HAPPY SUMMER!! Let's get running!!

Ok team, it's SUMMER! Congrats to those of you who participated in Track. Our distance team had a lot of pr's and success and a lot of that paid off from summer training, running XC, and indoor Track.

We have a LOT of change this next year! The biggest being that the state is realigning the classifications. We will still be 3A but we will be like the 3rd biggest school in 3A!! This means competition will change drastically from the HUGE schools we have been competing against. This gives us really good opportunities for Region and even State Championship trophies the next few years!

Our new region consists of: Morgan, South Summit, Summit Academy, Grantsville, Judge Memorial, & AISU.

The most important thing you can do this summer, is get MILEAGE in!!! The more you run the better off you'll be for XC. Our XC season starts sometimes the week before school starts and sometimes the first meet is the FIRST week of school. So waiting for practices to start after school won't be as effective.

To help you achieve these goals we have a summer training program that we will post weekly workouts to this blog! We follow the lydiard way training, mixed with workouts from American Fork, Davis, and other coaches around the state mixed with our own.

Summer training will officially begin on June 5th after Ragnar week. If you can meet at MHS Track at 8am, that would be great. But the biggest thing to remember is that if you can't ever make the team practices, running on your own and getting mileage everyday is and can be just as effective.

That week we also have Track camp where I would LOVE to have you all come and help the young kids!! That camp is June 6 - 10th from 9am - 11am @ the MHS Track.

Keep posted weekly to the blog for workouts, tips, and info!! Happy Running!!
