What Can I Do to be Ready to Tryout?

• E-Mail Coach Grether @ mgrether@wcpss.net For Workout plans.
• Summer workout information & a conditioning plan will be posted soon - once the State Releases Corona Virus info. 
• Most important... start running. Easy paced jogging for ~30 minutes. If cannot do 30 min straight, jog for 2-3 min, walk for a min, for 30 minutes. Start at 3 days per week and grow from there as your body feels comfortable. 
• Those who make the team will need to purchase the uniform top & black shorts ( Shop.Fastrams.me ). This is a one time purchase that can be used for XC & Track all 4 years.
