ANKENY CENTENNIAL GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY ELITE CAMP

ACHS Girls Cross Country Coach Eric Codgill and his staff offer a summer long training camp for girls entering 9th-12th. The Centennial staff will implement several running workouts as well as teach the purpose each has within the training program. Workouts will utilize a GPS watch, which Coach Cogdill will supply as needed. Each runner will have an individual training plan that is adjusted weekly based on age, history, ability, fatigue, and performance demonstrated in prior weeks.

The staff will also incorporate a strength and mobility program to assist in injury prevention and to improve flexibility. Additionally, all athletes in the camp will be offered a professional video analysis of running form with personalized feedback on target areas to improve running mechanics and strengthening exercises to address potential weaknesses.

All camp participants will receive a t-shirt. Treats and games will occur often to keep the training fun. Each route will be pre-planned for safety and water will be provided along the route. Some days will include short travel to incorporate new routes. Also, there will be a fun and unique experience to end the summer similar to the 24-hour or 100-mile relay offered in past years.

There are 54 training days in all. Perfect attendance is not expected, but, girls should sign up only if they plan to attend frequently (35+ day). There is another camp option for those who cannot commit as often. Coaches will help arrange rides for any athlete needing transportation.
