Summer Training/Freshmen First Day/Medical Info

Our first cross country practice will be Saturday August 17. We'll start our off-season summer training program 10 weeks out beginning June 9. I'll post training suggestions and will ask most runners to be at around 60 miles/week by the end of the summer. We'll plan again to offer 1000 Mile t-shirts to those runners who keep track of their mileage between June 1 and the NCAA Regional Meet November 2 and run 1000 miles between those dates. That's just over 20 weeks, so 50 miles/week during that time should get you to 1000 miles.

All incoming freshmen should plan to meet as a group and with Coach Van Arkel at 9:30 am at the Athletic Training Room in OFEC on Freshmen First Day on June 21. Please complete check-in by 9 am. If possible, incoming freshmen and returning juniors need to plan to get a physical done by the Drury team doctor on campus at 5:00 pm on June 21 after the day's formal events have ended. Before getting the physical, runners will need to fill out and provide to the athletic trainers the revised medical forms which are linked to the right on this page and which are also posted on the the Drury Athletic Trainer's web page:

Drury team doctors will also be on campus Mondays at 1:00 pm during the summer to conduct physicals if it is not possible to get those done June 21.
