Cross Country Clinic: First Sign of Autumn

Even though the track and field season still abides -- 8-year-old Jianna Cager, the fastest finals qualifier in the Primary Girls' 100m yesterday, is still racing at the Junior Olympics in Des Moines, for example -- there's a sure sign the cross country season isn't far off.

The high school coaches are having their annual clinic and coaches meeting next week.

The mentors of the state's young harriers will meet on Tuesday, August 11 at Champlin Park High School, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Featured speakers include Olympian and Lithuanian women's steeplechase record-holder Rasa Troup, who will talk about nutrition, and a panel of Team USA Minnesota athletes -- Emily Brown, Jason Lehmkuhle, and Josh Moen -- who will discuss training.

Details on the clinic can be found HERE.
