Coach Kelly at Henderson High School is running a one-week cross country camp in August (August 4th - August 8th from 7:00 - 9:30 AM). If you use the discount code PMS, you will get 15% off registration.
If you are also interested in running with the Henderson High School Team, Coach Kelly is inviting you to attend practices on Tuesday and Friday Mornings during the summer (I also work out at Henderson these mornings). If you are interested, please email me (jnolen@wcasd.net) and Coach Kelly (kkelly1@wcasd.net). We can work something out after cross country camp.
I would like runners to read through the Training & Workouts page on this website. Learning from the high schoolers is great, but there has to be a balance.
