Topper Coach Blog » Cross Country
The summer is almost over, and this is my first time to post on the blog! It is definitely NOT for lack of things to report! The Topper cross country program has been busy with several different things.
We had our first Topper Running Camp this year in June. We had 36 campers in attendance, and the week was fantastic. Runners learned about many aspects of the sport, went for daily runs, and also enjoyed some fun recreation.
Topper Trails (our BMC cross country course) are coming along nicely. Lots of blood, sweat, and tick bites have gone into making our cross country course great. We have lengthened and widened the existing 1 mile trail, and we have plans for a new addition. In the near future are plans to spread gravel, install culverts, and build bridges.
The runners have been working hard this summer, and I am sure their efforts will be evident this fall. I am looking forward to a great first season with this group!
Finally, plans are underway for our first BMC 5k... Topper Day 5K will be held August 28, 2010 at 8:00 am. This will be in conjunction with the Meet the Toppers event here on campus. 5Ks are a great way to get involved in the community and get some exercise at the same time! Make your plans to race, jog, or even walk in support of Topper Athletics! Entry is $15, and participants will receive a race t-shirt as well as age group awards.
