In 2017, Coach Dustin Jones started the Indians Running Club for students in elementary as a way to introduce the students to the sport of competitive running. Runners learn about proper form, breathing techniques, stretching, how to listen to their body, goal setting, and much more. The club practices two days a week during the months of August and September and has 2-3 meets each season. For the meets Kindergarten – 1st graders run .5 mile, 2nd – 3rd graders run .75 mile, and 4th – 5th graders run 1.25 miles.
