THIBODAUX, La. - Nicholls State University Head Track & Field and Cross Country Coach Stefanie Slekis will be holding a Fundamentals of Cross Country Camp from June 10-13. 

The cross country camp will assess your athletes' ability level in distance running, teach fundamental running mechanics and skills needed to improve as a cross country and distance track & field athlete. Many of the skills that will be worked on will benefit the athletes' performance in other sports as well. 

Camp will be led by Coach Slekis; along with other staff members, current cross country student-athletes and experienced distance runners. Each camper will leave with a suggested summer training plan based on their ability level and a better understanding of how to establish process and outcome goals to improve as an athlete in any sport. 

"Our staff is thrilled to host our third annual Fundamentals XC Camp," Slekis said. "The past two years we have seen our camp grow in size; which is exciting to see how many young athletes in our region want to be students of our sport. The primary focus of our camp is to expand our campers knowledge base so they feel empowered to prepare properly for a great fall season."
