Winter Track Training (Week 2)

We'll have organized practices each day this week, but everyone will then be "on your own" for the rest of the semester and during the winter break. We'll finish our fall with a Cross Country Banquet on Sunday Dec. 8 at 5:30 pm at the Rose O'Neill House on Drury campus. Sometime during this week I'll be asking everyone to start thinking about what event(s) they may run during the spring indoor/outdoor track season so we'll have some focus to our training when we return in January.

Coach Van Arkel

Winter Training/Indoor Track

Our first practice to start preparing for indoor and outdoor track will be Monday, November 25, at 4:00 pm. We'll plan on an easy run and talk about the indoor track schedule. We'll also practice Tuesday, November 26, at 7:00 am, before taking a break for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Our first indoor meet is Saturday, December 7, at KU. That meet is optional for Drury distance runners, and there are limits on entries in the distance events at that meet, but if you are healthy and think you would like to race at KU please let me know so entries into the meet can be made before Thanksgiving break.
