Summer practices vary by coach

July 1, 2009

PARKERSBURG — From running in a wildlife preserve, to quiet teaching sessions and traveling to shootouts, and playing in summer leagues, different Wood County high school coaches have different ways they approach the three-week summer coaching period allowed by the WVSSAC and what they want to accomplish during it. Larry Games, a 26-year veteran of coaching Parkersburg High School cross country, has been running his teams at the McDonough Wildlife Refuge in Vienna since the three-week summer coaching period was initiated. Games’ harriers run five days a week — Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 a.m. and Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. But it’s not only his Big Red squad, but also middle school and elementary runners interested in doing so. The runs at McDonough started Monday, June 15 and basically cover the entire three-week period. ‘‘It makes it more like a real cross country meet, with the hills and the woods and the terrain,’’ said Games.
