Hello Spartan Cross Country!
I am Coach Ryan Pewowaruk, and I am the head boys' cross country coach at VPM after having been an assistant coach for the past 3 seasons. Coach Brian McIntyre will also be returning as an assistant coach for this upcoming season. We are so grateful for everything Coach Casey Hopp has done for the Madison Memorial boys' cross-country team, including his 20-year tenure as head coach. While we are sad to see Coach Casey step down, we are extremely excited for this upcoming summer and fall cross country season.
SUMMER RUNNING --> Lay the foundation NOW for a successful season later. Summer miles bring fall smiles
Consistency and building from week to week are essential to a successful fall.
Meet 8am at Memorial Stadium Lot. First Monday will be at Memorial. Following Mondays will be a rotating location posted in SportsYou.
Weeks of 6/22, 6/29, and 7/6 meet Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
Weeks of 7/13, 7/20, and 7/27 meet Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
Weeks of 8/3 and 8/10 meet Monday- Friday
Tuesdays and Thursday's athletes will be able to attend a strength training session at VPM supervised by UW Health and VPM coaches. This will take place right after summer running and athletes should be finished by 9:30. These strength sessions are a great opportunity to become a stronger and more well-rounded athlete!
Training Plan (Also posted in SportsYou)
Bring athletic clothes, shoes, and a water bottle. Led by upperclassmen.
Not being able to attend the summer workouts is not an excuse to skip training! You can go for a run anywhere you are!
