PEAK Juniors Program

The PEAK Juniors Program is focused on Middle School athletes who are actively looking for racing opportunities and desire taking a step up in their training. Juniors have two major seasons with Cross Country in the fall culminating with Junior Olympic XC Nationals in Early December. In the spring and summer we prepare for racing track races with the season culminating with Junior Olympic Track Nationals in late June. Since 2017, the PEAK Juniors program has produced 30+ All Americans ( top 25 in the US by age group) for the Track and in Cross Country. Our coaching team is focused on creating an environment of growth and progression for athletes just entering the sport and athletes that have competed at the national level. As most athletes are developing and growing their love in practice for many sports we follow a quarterly training calendar that allows athletes to commit at a level that allows them to give themselves to all of their pursuits. As a program truly focused on young athlete development we believe that our Juniors program is an introduction to the sport of running, focused training, and building skills that will serve them as they follow their training dreams

Building Stronger Athletes

For many years there was a myth that strength training at a young age would stunt a young athletes growth. After 7+ years of putting young bodies in a controlled environment with a focus on progressing the basics, and encourage athletes to focus on being controlled, skilled, and deliberate in their practice we have seen great success. The weight room is a place where young runners can build more than strength, they can build confidence with every rep. Lead by Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach Katie Whidden - each session is focused on progressing the basics. We’re not focused on being flashy or hiding behind complicated words - we’re here to develop an athletes skillset so they can grow and become athletes that know how to move around a weight room with confidence.

To build stronger, more capable athletes - we have our Juniors athletes in the weight room weekly on Tuesday evenings.
