The Jr. Cardinals Cross Country program is a seven-week offering for area youth entering grades 4 – 6. The main goal is to provide a fun and introductory experience to the lifelong sport of distance running. Participants will develop skills to compete in races through practices that emphasize positivity, sportsmanship, and fun.
The season begins on 8/18 and runs through 10/2. Fee: $65 (includes a T-shirt if registered by 8/11). A late registration fee of $10 will be added after 8/11.
We will have 1-hour practices 2x/week. While the full schedule will not be available until early August, the first week of practice has typically been from 8:30 – 9:30am; and 4-5pm thereafter. Location of practice may vary within the community. Bring running shoes and a water bottle.
The season also includes: a half mile race on 8/22, running the homecoming football in with the varsity cross country team and competing in a 1-mile race on 10/2. Additional race opportunities may become available.
In addition to preparing kids to compete in meets, we incorporate a lot of games into our training program: including relays, scavenger hunts and other fun activities. They will also learn some mental strategies and the importance of both the individual and the team.
The program will be coached by Neil & Crystal Hanson. For more information, Crystal can be reached at 507-951-6059 or cnhansonfmt@gmail.com
