I hope everyone is finishing up a fantastic Spring and is getting excited for DHS XC 2023! The coaches would like to fill you in with some important information as we are gearing up for another amazing cross-country season!
Interest Meeting Summary
For those who missed the meeting, here is a brief summary of what we discussed:
We are welcoming a new Coach - Lilly Meier - and we are very excited to have her! Coach Lilly will bring her passion, dedication, and immense knowledge of running to our team and will be joining us for many of our summer runs in the pre-season.
Speaking of Summer Runs, official meetings will be taking place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Cochran Shoals Park (1956-2068 Eugene Gunby Rd, Marietta, GA 30067) at 7:30am. These will begin on June 6th! The coaches encourage a carpool system to get as many runners there as possible!
Otherwise, there will be senior led summer runs at the DHS Track on Monday, Wednesday, & Friday also at 7:30am beginning June 5th.
Summer running logs will be posted on the website later this week, for those who did not collect one at the interest meeting. As a reminder, summer running is critical to both the health and success of any cross-country team.
Another important announcement is that this year, all runners will train until the Region Championships in late October (Date TBA). There will be no championship season this year.
