Post Season Selection
DUC Middle School season will wrap up April 10th, and we’re excited to offer select athletes the opportunity to continue training with the U16 program through the Youth Central Regional Championship (May 3–4).
This is a great next step for athletes who’ve shown strong commitment, enthusiasm, and readiness to race.
Families will be notified by March 24th if their athlete is invited to join the U16 group — giving everyone time to plan and transition smoothly.
These athletes will transition to training with the U16/U17 team on April 11th under the high school schedule- preparing them for the competitive high school team in the Fall!
