Summer Training

SUMMER TRAINING OVERVIEW

Redmond hosts summer cross country practices. To participate in summer training for XC, you must be signed up on Final Forms: https://rhs.lwsd.org/athletics/sports-registration There are no meets and attendance is optional. The goal of summer training is to get to know your teammates, and set yourself up for PRs in the Fall. Summer miles bring fall smiles! Attendance is required in the Fall season, but not the summer. These practices will be a fun introduction to XC and include team-focused bonding events and conversational training runs, hill workouts, strength and conditioning.
