The 21st summer of providing opportunities to junior high & high school athletes to make the most of their upcoming cross country season! June 4th will start the XC athletes and Sprinters will begin on June 11th!! Check the calendar for meeting locations and times.
Orange Crush Running Club is dedicated to promoting cross country and Track & Field. We have a program that is about the individual that wants to pursue excellence in these sports. This is not a program for tardy or inconsistent athletes. This is about reaching state meet demands.
We will use a variety of training areas in and around Seven Lakes High School. We will run most of of our runs on the paths throughout the SLHS attendance zone, including Lake George Trail. We will also utilize the SLHS track facility.
Our experienced coaches are committed to helping you achieve your goals and have fun in the process. You will need to bring a 3 ring binder with a pencil bag and plenty of paper for our logbooks sessions. We expect coachability, consistency, and punctuality by the athletes.
At Orange Crush, we believe in a holistic approach to sports training that focuses on both physical and mental development. Our training programs are designed to help athletes build strength, endurance, and agility, as well as to develop the mental toughness they need to succeed on and off the field. This program is NOT for tardy or inconsistent athletes.
The purpose of the program is to develop cross country and mid-distance athletes in running technique, racing strategies and experience in competitive training sessions, and equally important a developed oxygen delivery system for the upcoming competitive cross country and track & field seasons. Each runner involved in the program is unique and will be coached in a manner that will allow for their best and most positive attributes to be fully demonstrated in an athletic manner. Runners that have no experience will be given as much attention as our many athletes that have run at the state meet level. The primary objective is for each athlete to fully achieve a personal sense of value and purpose towards the betterment of their athletic ability. Athletes that are inconsistent in their attendance will be dropped from the prorgam.
Even though we have had teams and individual athletes qualify to 19 of the past 20 state cross country meets, we will do our best to make sure your athlete is treated as if they if they were a member of our family. Athletes will begin training on June 4th to kick off our 2025 summer training season at a designated time between 6:30am and 7:00am. Check the practice calendar for times and locations of this week’s practices as I will be updating this week for more details. I will be adding more terms and info about the training throughout the coming weeks. The goal between now and the starting date of Orange Crush is to see how many days in a row you can run. It does not matter if it one mile or 10 miles a day, or 7 minutes or 107 minutes. A Consecutive day or “CD” is simply a nonstop run, that needs to be timed and measured. Exactness is excellence. Practice timing your runs and writing down your training in a log sheet. When logging your runs– call each day’s workout training a “CD”. Depending on your experience and age your goal may be for the new runner- one mile a day non stop, or more experienced runner-5 miles a day nonstop. On Wednesday, June 5th, we will ask to see your log sheets from your training to determine how you should progress. Make sure to bring:
1. Your Desire to Excel, Positive Attitude, and Honesty!
2. Your log sheets filled out bring them so we can continue from there.
3. Your Watch- Garmin GPS watch
4. Running clothes, shoes, and a towel
5. Fluids!
