We are ON! For now...

Coach Ecker believes that the heavy band of rain and storms that are approaching from the west will not arrive until after 8am.  We will meet to run at Lily Lake today, but with our eyes on the skies.  IF LIGHTNING IS IN THE AREA, we will not run.  Therefore, please choose for yourselves, if this is a day you'd like to make the long trek up to Lily Lake.  I will be there at 6, and we will run shorter distances out and back today, so that we can beat any kind of weather that might spring up.  If possible, those of you who do not drive yourselves should try and keep your ride in the area, and plan to be done around 7:15am.  We'll get a workout in, as best we can, but within the boundaries of student safety.

Monday Morning - RADAR LOOKS IFFY

Summer Runners,

The current radar looks pretty colorful.  Coach Clarey will be heading up to Waubonsee this morning to meet and greet anyone who shows up.  It looks imminent that we're going to get some rain and storminess from the current model on the Doppler. 

Suggestion would be that for now, if you don't have a ride out of camp if and when a storm rolls through at 7am, DON'T COME!  We will reconvene on Wednesday morning at 6am, on the bike path.

Don't forget, Juniors and Seniors, that we still have a Kid's Camp to work tonight at 5pm.

Coach C

KANELAND KIDS CAMP CANCELED FOR TONIGHT!

Given the anticipated weather, and the red and yellows on the radar, we are going to cancel tonight's Kid's Camp.  Our next date to meet will be Monday, June 17 at 5pm.  We'll play our own version of the Stanley Cup!  See you then.  Good luck tonight with the storms.

Welcome Back, Summer Runners!

This morning, we will begin our new summer session of training for a productive fall.  Be sure to check back at this web address, in order to get details about summer events, as well as the latest plan for days of inclement weather.

Looking forward to seeing each and every one of you!  Remember, summer miles = fall smiles!
Coach Clarey

Frosh Soph Boys NIB XII Conference Champions

This talented group of underclassmen unseated Yorkville as champions of the division, by packing up with a 60 second split (1-5).  Our Varsity pack split (0:44 for 1-5, 0:54 for 1-7) as well as the Open team (0:29 split 1-5) was the first day, probably in the history of our program, where we raced to three 1 minute (or less!) pack splits.  Very, very impressive.
