MISSION
To inspire and develop sportsmanship, community, and leadership - one person and one mile at a time.
SUMMER CONDITIONING
We condition to develop a baseline of stamina and teamwork that will carry over into the season. During conditioning we meet at various parks and trails throughout the county, with a planned running camp in Rome, Georgia. The goal of team camp is to develop hill training, establish team goals, and increase stamina. While conditioning is not mandatory, it is strongly encouraged and essential to our team's success.
REGULAR SEASON
The regular season begins July 31st and ends with the State Championship Meet in November. During the season athletes compete in numerous invitationals, including overnight travel to North Carolina, Georgia and Tallahassee for meets.
LETTERING STANDARD
Lettering in a sport at Mandarin High School is a privilege. An athlete who earns a varsity letter must demonstrate that they are a positive example of a student athlete. In our running programs this is an essential component to being recognized as a varsity athlete.
