2 and a half weeks of pre season running has put the U High Cross Country team in good shape as they prepare for their first meet on September 10th at Kenwood. One more week of training before the start of school on September 8th should get the team close to race shape. Bith the boys and girls went to state last year and both are defending Regional Champions. The goal is to repeat the success of last year!
On Tuesday August the 18th we ran our first timed runs of the season just to get the feel for what racing is all about. Everyone did well especially the new runners on the team. The objective was to run a hard mile and then come back and run another one within 20 seconds of the time you ran on the first one. There were many successes! Good job! 
The team did 5 miles with striders, drills and abs. Good first day. More to come. First meet is September 10th.
Be sure to be at practice this Wednesday at 10am to start cross country! It will be only about an hour or so and will be pretty easy! Have your physical form turned in!
Practice for the 2009 U High Cross Country Season begins at 10am on Wednesday August 12th at Sunny Gym. Having taken both the girls and boys teams to state last year the outlook for another great season is very positive. Be a part of it!

Be ready for the IHSA State Finals!
