Several Badger cross-country runners spent
several days maintaining their conditioning for
the coming season, which begins with practice
August 12, attending the Flathead Lake Distance
Running Camp, Bigfork, Montana, June 13-16. Badger runners Jacob Callister, Michah Krmpotich, Jared Lysne, Nonnie Stofiel and Bradley Thompson attended the camp, experiencing a mix of snowy trails, sun and rain, along side runners from as far away as Pensacolo, Florida. The camp sessions focused on goal setting, motivation and the college-level running experience. Former Badger standouts Lorena LaBarbera and Dylan Sweeney were counselors at the camp, and Badger Coach Paul Bonnell was one of the camp coaches, along with Gonzaga University cross country and distance track coach Pat Tyson. "I love how the students get a jumpstart to their training and running in the mountains with athletes from all over the country," Bonnell said. "It was a great experience for everyone involved." With Badger cross-country practice beginning August 12, Bonnell is asking all returning runners and new runners of high school age to call him at (208) 597-1431 to find out about practices and what they'll need to be ready for the upcoming season. |
