Summer Camp begins June 15th @ 7:00 am

The summer has already begun and the work needed to prepare for the upcoming fall cross country season needs to be started. We have many new faces joining us this summer. We have had a couple of meetings to discuss goals and meeting times. Please contact me if you have any questions via email or phone, numbers are listed below.

Attention new comers and incoming freshman!!. All ability levels are welcome. Track athletes who are not in a fall sport please get involved, we already have 6 sprinters committed to getting stronger and faster by participating in cross country. Everyone runs in every competition, no one is left out.

We will be breaking up the team into at least 3 training groups. Each athlete will be placed in a group based on their ability level and how much training they have accomplished over the summer. For freshman and other newcomers, we start athletes at a low mileage level and build them up based on what they can handle. Too many freshman expect to be sent on an 8 mile run their first day of practice. That does not happen.

Wheeling Cross Country has had a tradition of success for many years. It is our goal to maintain this level of success. We expect our athletes to be dedicated and committed to becoming better athletes, students and members of our community. Success does not come easy, but for those who are willing to put in the time they will reap the benefits of success.

We welcome all comers, incoming freshman have an opportunity to get started and make some friends before the school year begins.
