PHILOSOPHY
Royal ‘s philosophy is developing a young person physically, mentally and morally.
1. Physically: Our goal is to build endurance, strength and speed.
2. Mentally: Competitive spirit, responsibility towards training and the enjoyment of racing.
3. Morally: Royal looks for a caring attitude towards all members of the XC team and the development of the quiet pride of success. Being a fair competitor (racing tactics) towards other schools is an important concept to nurture.

Our first preseason test was at the Simi Valley Summer Series #1, at Corriganville Park.
Several athletes improved on last year's times. Our new athletes got a taste of what a cross country race is like.
Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2025
Our team participated in The Moorpark Mile, at Moorpark College. The kids gave us great baseline times that we can work on throughout the season.
Results will be posted as soon as they are published.
Our final preseason tune-up was on Tuesday, Aug. 12th, at Corriganville Park.
Our runners did well, improving over their times in the first Corriganville race.
Oh....and Coach Sean Upson WON the race.
We opened our 2025 Season with our first League Meet, at Corriganville Park, Simi Valley.
All of our athletes did well in their races and our Varsity teams showed that they are in the hunt for a CIF berth.
Everyone had great runs at Moorpark, with numerous season bests and PR's, as well as several medal winners.
Great job by all of our Highlanders!!

Brett Darrington has helped out numerous sports programs in the region. He has been putting Royal runners back together since I met Brett in the early 2000's. Being a runner and competitor himself, Brett understands that taking long periods of time off for an injury is not an option. He has continually helped many of my athletes get back to the trails training in the shortest amount of time possible. Brett takes the time to determine the injury, explain to the athlete why the injury most likely occurred, treats the injury and the most important, assigning strengthening exercises to keep the injury from reoccurring. Brett accepts most major insurance companies. If insurance is not an option, he has a affordable "walk-in" price.
