The SSWSC U16/U18/U20 cross program is a comprehensive, high-level year-round training program for athletes who love the sport and want to pursue their full potential. The program includes a summer-long, five-day-per-week training schedule to prepare for the winter race season.

For 20 years, the SSWSC cross country team summer Test Week has seen many athletes compete in four historical tests:
Canadian Strength Test - various strength tests at the Strength and Conditioning Center
Hot Springs Running Time Trial - running race on the road up to Strawberry Park Hot Springs
Sanctuary Double Pole Time Trial - roller ski double pole race on Steamboat Blvd.
3,000 meter running race - at the high school track

Last week, 15 athletes put themselves through four rigorous days of testing. The final standings, based on cumulative points, were:

Female
1st place- Georgia Bishop
2nd place- Kiri May
3rd place- Tig Loomis

Male
1st place- Tristan Thrasher

Congratulations to all the athletes!
