Summer Running - June 17

Summer Running, organized by the team captains, is at West, M-F, 8am, beginning June 17. This is optional, but highly encouraged. More information will be shared at the Team Spring Meeting, May 29.

MWABA Summer Strength Program - June 17-August 6

In addition to summer running, this opportunity is available to all West athletes.Tyler Seubert, Madison West Strength and Conditioning Coach, is providing an amazing opportunity for West student athletes this summer!  Coach Seubert will be orchestrating an 8:30am and 9:30am workout sessions at West High School on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays throughout the summer (the 9:30am session will work with summer running participation). Each time spot will provide different outcomes based on the needs of the athletes in attendance in order to optimize athleticism and improvement in their respective sports.  Once interest is properly gauged, the goals of the sessions will be developed and athletes/teams will be assigned to the group that will best fit their athletic needs.

There is a cost for the program, $20.00 per athlete, which will cover training for the entire summer program from June 17 through August 6.  Scholarship opportunities are available for athletes (contact Coach Seubert or Renee in Athletes with questions about scholarships). Athletes can complete this easy-to-fill-out form online https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqbAWX42iPpP6QlarJs_6ICjUv0hIrWyM3qNHrituyH91Y-w/viewform  and send payment (checks made out to MWABA) to Tyler Seubert in the Madison West weight room or to Renee in the Athletics office.  A summer pass will be issued to the athlete after all documents and payments have been received.

Communication for Parents and Athletes:

• Google Group for both parents and athletes (see link at top of page) - The purpose of this group is to keep you informed about team deadlines, schedules, and other information.  All team parents and runners are encouraged to join this group. If you know anyone who should be added to this google group, please have them email me and I will add them to the group as soon as I get a chance. My email: blakerohrer@gmail.com
• Facebook Group (athletes only)  - The team captains run a team Facebook group that ALL GIRLS on the team should join (sorry, parents, but this is not the group for us).  The Facebook page is the place where girls can receive daily information about summer running (for example, cancellations due to weather, fun events, etc.).  This group is intended for use by the girls, not a way to communicate with parents. The name of FB group: WWXC Summer Running 2019 - Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/319733635370257/ .
