The Redford, Michigan Catholic Central team has been coming to the Pinery Park to train for the past 28 years. return to Pinery By Fred Groves T -A staff DASHWOOD - A high school in Michigan has come up with a sure fire way to . prepare their cross- country runners for the fall season. For the past 28 years, coach Tony Magni has teen bringing his runners from Catholic Central High School in Redford Michigan, to the Pinery Provincial Park. The first two weeks in August are a training camp which is topped off with a gruelling 18 -mile run from the park to Ron Memer's house in Dashwood. "The first couple of years we went three weeks, but we found by the third week we were getting on each other's nerves and it was too intense," said Magni. Spending two weeks together, eating sleeping and training means the boys and their coaches have to get along. Camping at the Pinery Park, their day began with a nine - mile run before breakfast. That is followed by breakfast and then the boys have the rest of the day to themselves to enjoy the beach and Lake Huron before their five -mile run at 4 p.m. "It does' help because they know they have to get ready to come up here." Runners get in shape before com- ing to the camp which began at the Pinery, because Magni said they would be less intense on their train- ing if they didn't get away from `Redford. Catholic Central is an all -boys school and according to Magni have had very successful cross - "It's not for everybody. Some coaches -really don't Like the Idea of camping and working the kids that hard." cou'try teams. The co -captains, Brian Smith and Mark Leo both in grade 12, enjoy the training camp. "It's good to get into shape and it brings the team together," said Smith. "If you want to be good in cross-country at CC, you have to come to camp." Leo agreed that it makes every- one work together. "Once we hit the time trials, were in shape," he said. The time trials come early in the Michigan school year which began on ThursdaX, the day the team ran to Mercer's in Dashwood. Prior to running to Merners', the boys use to have their final run into Forest but the Dashwood family have been very supportive of the runners over the years. Thursday's run was a fund-raiser of sorts. Magni said that the boys get sponsors for the biggest run of the training camp and the money goes towards their cross-country program. Magni noted that while the rival schools back in Michigan do know ::about the camp, some are not for it.
