Conditioning Sessions: Week #2 July 29th-August 3rd

Learwood Middle School Cross Country CONDITIONING will continue this week. We will meet at the ALHS Track (meet at the caboose). Please wear clothes suitable for practice (you might get dirty), running shoes, and water! We will be staying on campus (or at Kopf Reservation) for these sessions.
