June has arrived. For many of us, that means XC preparation has begun. If yours hasn’t, just know that ours has…. And I’d bet some of your other competitors have started as well.
Senior @brooke_chapman4 went out to Carmel, IN last night and broke her own 3200m school record running a 10:17 to place 5th! An 11 sec PR!
Congrats to Elena Aldrink of Liberty placing 7th in 10:21 as well!

A good high school XC coach understands the spectrum of fitness better than most. Why?
They've got to coach the extremes:
1. The kid trying to win a state championship.
2. The overweight kid who has never run before and get to racing 5k without getting injured.
One key differentiator for elite performers:
They don't see it as a sacrifice.
They don't see long practice hours, going to bed early, skipping out on the parties or whatever as a sacrifiice.
They like and live it. They enjoy the dedication. Instead of seeing it as missing out
Fall ‘25 was unforgettable!
Congrats to all of our players, coaches, and programs for making their marks while being resilience, overcoming adversity, and attaining incredible achievements👊

Toughness is a skill that you can develop.
In one study on individual and team athletes, those who put in the most hours per week of training in, rated highest on measures of mental toughness.
Do the work. Consistently.

Focus on the effort, not the outcome.
Effort is within your control. The end result is not.
Make the goal to get the most out of yourself, to see how you can navigate discomfort to keep the effort there.
