Last day of cross country camp was this morning. The campers ran to the "hill" and did their workout there. On the way back, they made a stop at Casey's. They all did a great job during camp and worked hard on what they were given to do. MS season starts August 5th and HS season starts August 12th.

The 2024 wrestling camps were a hit! We had a total of almost 60 campers join us! This year we split the camp into two parts.
Week one was for the Middle and High schoolers. This week focused on advanced moves, cardio and pushing the wrestlers to their limits. All while learning team building and having fun along the way.
Week two focused on basics for the primary school students. 20+ kids had never seen the mat before! It was amazing to see all of them learn what this sport is about!
Thank you to all the coaches, volunteers, wrestlers and parents that made these weeks possible! We look forward to an awesome 2024-2025 season for the youth and High School teams!

Today was day 1 of the 5th grade - 12th grade XC camp. Some things that were discussed were the different terms used for the paces they will run, the importance of stretching, proper running form, and hydration. The campers went to the track and did some drill work that worked on the proper form they needed to use while running. Camp will continue thru Thursday this week and go from Monday - Thursday of next week. Time is 7:00am - 8:00am at the HS.
Lots of hard work and progress was made during volleyball camp last week. Thank you to everyone who made it to camp each day & for the high school girls who helped make it successful! Keep working & we'll see you all next year!

The next generation of Raider basketball stars were in the gym working all last week at camp to improve their games. Nearly 60 athletes from 2nd - 8th grade attended the Annual Raider basketball camp. Many High School players instructed throughout the week and were great mentors to all the younger Raiders. The future is bright for all these boys and lots of great things are to come! #MCRaiderNation
