HPHS Track & Field and Cross Country

Youth

YOUTH DISTANCE RUNNING CAMP

This camp will be for boys and girls entering fifth through eigth grade who are looking for a way to develop their running ability and passion for the sport. It is a great opportunity for middle school cross country runners to prepare for their season. The camp is also strongly recommended for anyone interested in running cross country and/or track in high school. Participants will be introduced to the same training program that is used by the cross country and track teams at Highland Park High School. This camp will not only build endurance and speed, but will also help children improve their work ethic, build self-esteem and develop a love for long distance running.

This program will be run by Steve and Christine Buti. Steve is the boys' assistant cross country and track distance coach at Highland Park High School. Christine has been the assistant cross country coach at Elm Place Middle School and has coached Girls On The Run at Indian Trail Elementary School.
