Our first Drury cross country practice will be Wednesday, August 20, at 7 am. All runners need to be on campus by then. Freshmen orientation starts just three days later. Insurance and a physical(by a physician) and signed consent forms are REQUIRED before the first practice. Medical forms are on the Drury Athletics web page or click on the forms link in the margin. If you move during the summer or leave home for an extended period of time be sure I have a good mailing address for you. The NCAA may want to conduct random drug tests and all student athletes on the roster are subject to being tested year round.
The fall meet schedule has not yet been set, but will be posted as soon as it becomes final. For now we can be running relaxed with not a lot of concern about pace or mileage. I'll post summer training suggestions starting in June and will focus on the last eight weeks of the summer. Until then run easy and get into a summer routine that will allow for solid training as the temperature gets hotter.
Cross country camp for high schoolers is sill July 28-August 1.
