With the school year coming to an end, school sports are wrapping up too. Still, many athletes and coaches are already focused on the future, preparing for next season and the new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Summer weights will officially begin on May 26, 2026, and will take place throughout the morning for different sports in the weight room at Washburn Rural High School. The summer weights program is designed to provide athletes with consistency while still fitting around the many activities they are involved in during the summer as they prepare for their upcoming seasons. Through proper progression and structured training, athletes will have the opportunity to improve and see results without the risk of overtraining.

This summer will also feature several upgrades to the weight room, including additional racks, new flooring, and updated technology that will enhance training and make it easier to monitor and track progress throughout the program.
