LCC cross country runners gain experience at camp

HOMER — Laurel-Concord-Coleridge sent 18 cross country runners to the Tri State District Camp.

Thanks to the LCC community supporters of the Youth Run camp in May and the Community Fun Run in June, these runners were able to attend and had a great day of fun and learning.

The day started out with a group run, then a running game with water, which was a great way to cool off. Next, the cross country group listened to speakers from the University of Nebraska Omaha. Cross country coach Cliff Cisar talked about the importance of strength training in running development. Past Husker runner Cody Mroczek talked about the importance of physical and mental wellness in running. Also heard from owner and manager Jim Ewoldt, known as the “shoe guy”, from Peak Performance in Sioux City about the importance of being fitted for the right shoe.
