Last week Coach Heidi started off the first conditioning week for those whom could attend, with an Acquaintance 3 mile Hike at Ned Smith. Teammates and parents enjoyed a brisk hike with Coach Heidi getting to know her , her husband and her two dogs .
Later in the week Coach Heidi and some teammates, with some parents , did a 2.4 hike and last Saturday ended the week with a 4 mile Hike starting at the Hang gliding site. Enjoy some pictures from the Saturday Hike.

We are please to welcome our new head cross country coach Heidi S. Heidi was born and raised in northern Dauphin County. She wrote the following introduction: I graduated from Halifax High School and went to IUP for college. My athletic endeavors include both cycling and running. I’m a member of the Millersburg Velo Club. I’ve pedaled from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, NJ (65 miles) for charity in 2021 and again in 2024. I spent a weekend in West Virginia running a Ragnar Trail event on a team with five other awesome ladies where we won third place. I’ve participated in two 3 hour distance events, one 6 hour event and one 12 hour event. my race stats include 16 5ks, 1 10k, and 11 Half marathons. I’ve run Slate Run 25k twice, Eagleton 25k, Naked Nick 25k, and the Rattling 25k as well as the Philadelphia Trail Marathon, and a 55k on the Virginia Creeper trail twice. I enjoy running with the PA Special Olympics torch runs as a relief runner.
My son is an incoming freshman on the team. At home, we currently have 2 dogs, 6 sheep, 9 turkeys and 20 chickens. I enjoy gardening in my free time.
My previous coaching experience is in soccer at Twin Valley. I’m excited to bring a love of being fit and active in nature to the team. The lessons learned of endurance and strength will benefit each runner not only in their fitness goals but life goals as well.
