The final 2025 Mileage Stats are above. Mileage Mania features the base that we rely on to kick start our regular season each year. Over the years, it's the runners that train the hardest in the Summer that do stronger in the season and the post season. Mileage Mania works and helps distance runners!
Above is a list of Athletes that have intended to run going back to our interest meeting in Mid-May to those that went out and ran miles and found it too challening and gave up to went into another Sport to those that are active on the Team at the moment. Those that are still activie, if you have gone this far you should be able to complete the season and you wil be a lot stronger as a result of this.
Mileage Mania is a Summer Program and all mileage continues to be monitored and this year wrapped up on that final day of Summer on Monday September 22, 2025. At that time the Mileage Mania Standings were made final. Our Winner Giovanni Lopez was presented with the annual 6 Foot Trophy for winning the competition with 404 Miles.
Let it be known that some of our runners have been out of town for the Summer. Because of the contest rules we cannot apply their mileage. However, they do check in and we know they are running. For example Alexia Z. was in other States and continued to run all Summer. Even though she did not get any credit for this, she came out cold turkey and ran a mile a minute faster her fastest time in Track season the very first time she ran with us this Summer in early August. Preston has said that his running in Wisconsin has him feeling for sure that he will run the Mountie Express on the 23rd faster than he ran MSAC last year. Jo-Kendall also has done a lot of running out of State this Summer and this will result in her running some strong times for our 8th Grade Middle School Girls Team which will be close to the top of the Middle School standings this season.

Lets just keep putting in the Miles and Minutes!! This will prepare us for the month ahead in August when the workouts become more specialized!
Remember, make sure you are cleared and any of your friends that would like to come out and be part of something special this season are cleared.
You have until the end of the month to get cleared. Rosters will be finalized on August 1st. We will have a parent meeting on August 12th and we will have Pictures on August 19th. You'll have your Uniforms long before that. This year you are getting NEW uniforms!

On Wednesday July 2nd we will have one of our workouts at SJVA. This will start at 6:30 AM. We will run until 8 AM and following the workout we will go into the weight room at 8 AM for a structured conditioning workout. While many other teams are running in the South Valley, it's the Team that goes above and beyond in the Summer months to prepare for League that will get to CIF. We plan for that to be us.
This is NOT a misprint. This is the same date as the date above to give our aur Athletes and Parents a choice based on Geographic preference or workout. We will also have a workout at Diamond Valley on Wednesday July 2nd.. This workout will start at 6:OO AM and if you want even more conditioning after the Diamond Valley workout, join us at SJVA in the weight room at 8AM.
For those that live in Menifee and have a challenging time getting to Hemet or San Jacinto during the Summer months this workout is for you. Even if you live in San Jacinto or Hemet and want to keep your mileage up, feel free to come to Menifee where we had plenty of Hemt/San Jacinto runners workout on our last day of Mileage Mania in June. We will practie again at Central Park.
We will be practicing on the SJVA Campus today from 6:30 AM until 8:30 AM giving everyone plenty of time to enjoy the Holiday.
By request from some of the runners on the team we will be practicing at Laguna Beach on Satrday mornIng at 7 AM. This will be updated in a few days on exactly where we will be meeting and other detiails. .
The rest of July will be updated in a few days. However, this is a good plan for week It is understood that not everyone is going to be able to get to every practice. In fact, it's impossible because many are at the same time. However, by having multiple practices at the same time spread out we increase the percentages of people that can attend. Some of the longer drives are set up so that our runners experience different conditions, softer land to run on, change of scenery, etc. Again, not everyone will have the schedule ability to do all of these. The key is to attend what you can attend and build as many miles as possible.
Time/Date Where

This is for internal Cross Country Team member information purposes only.
Total Miles run by each Cross Country Runners over the Summer starting on Tuesday June 3, 2025 is listed below
The Practice Schedule on the left is the answer this Summer to the form that we had the Runners on the Team fill out.
We have close to a 50/50 split of Athletes from both Hemet and San Jacinto and a smaller amount in Menifee and now 3 Coaches for Summer Practices.
Therefore, on days like Wednesday June 11h we can actually make it easier for our Team to attend by holding one practice in Hemet at Diamond Valley and the other practice at SJVA. Athletes can always choose to attend the practice of their choice, even if it is the one furthest from them that day. The whole purpose of this is to build a strong regular attendance as the name of the game is really miles and minutes early in the season like we are.

As more of our runners get cleared it can get confusing on the reporting of miles to the Tracker online. This is why we provide a copy of the mileage ran to the runner at each practice and the Coach keeps a copy. In fact, it would not be impossible up to this point that a mistake or two could have been made. So, runners are encouraged to always save their mileage tracker signed off by a Coach so that we can make any adjustments needed along the way. We have had some cases where we can't make out handwriting and some things can be off.
Speaking of clearances, we began Mileage Mania in May as Track was winding down. At that time if you ran Cross Country in the 2024 season you were eligible to workout with and earn mileage without doing anything. If you ran Track you were eligible as long as you went online and clicked the Cross Country box and had an existing non expired physical. Even if you think you are cleared, some clearances had not signed a couple of items and you many have been cleared a few weeks ago but now you need to go back in and sign off on some things.
In the first few weeks of Mileage Mania we had a Chiropractor help us with families that did not want to wait for a future date for a Physical and they just wanted to get it out of the way. If you are in this boat right now, please reach out because in a few weeks if you are not 100 percent cleared you will have to wait to compete in Cross Country in 2026 as the the Athletic Office is wrapping everything up early this year (we only had up until the first league meet of the season last year because we were new and had to recruit runners.)

At SJVAMileageTracker.Com, our mission is to support runners in achieving their personal goals and preparing to win the South Valley League in 2025. We provide a comprehensive platform for tracking your running mileage effectively and efficiently.
When you've just ran a High 9 and you feel like you don't have anything left or when you've done agility drills or hills to the point where you don't feel like you can ever run another mile. It's time to take a break and look to the left hand side of this page (if you are on a desk top) or right under this if you are on your phone.
Running is not 100 percent physical. A big part of is mental and take a look at these quotes that can help your mind develop as a runner. Quotes that can inspire you!
These quotes will carry you. Some are fun, some are funny and some will hit a nerve to make you go further and faster when you run again.
While other Sports tell you to go run a lap when you drop a pass, goof off, or even not pay attention. In our Sport Running is the Sport. What you do every day, is what other Sports use as their punishment.
During our interest meeting, i had every one write down the most miles they have ran in a day and just a couple of months into Mileage Mania more than 80 percent of you that have been participating have ran further in one day than your previous best!
Weather you are running as an SJVA 6th Grader, Middle School runner, JV runner or lucky enough to be on of the 7 Varsity. The average person can't do what you do! in your Sport, the competitions do not have timeouts , we don't have a timeout in the middle of the race. It's all about who has the most endurance! As a Mileage Mania participant, you are doing something that will carry you beyond High School. The Discipline that goes with Running Distance can lead you to that Job or Promotion 20 years from now, you'll see.. But, for now enjoy what you do and since you read all this, please send me an e-mail at nlacapria@sjacademy.org and let me know what your 2025 Cross Country Goal is.
Uniforms will be turned in the final day of the season, which is our final race. Please bring a change of clothes to that final race so that we are not chasing uniforms.

Mileage Mania enters is in it's 4th month in August! When we started in May, we told you Miles and Minutes. Now, we are beyond that as you build up your base and in the month of August we ae going to start working hard on developing speed, Climbing Hills and harder workouts. Lots of Ladders, Differentials, and High 9s this month! We have 4 Saturdays scheduled for the month of August at MSAC! The Mileage Mania Summer Running Program goes all the way up to the last day of Summer on September 22nd. On that day, the standings will be final. Although we do not have as much time to workout now with School returning, you can still stay after practice to earn extra miles or double up on days when both Morning and Evening Workouts are offered. Every Mile that your run including in Races is counted!
