Why a Winter Program?

The purpose of the Winter Workout Program is to provide an educational running experience and a strength foundation that will enhance your ability to stay healthy and achieve personal goals for the year.

Catarina Rocha Takes 2nd at Nationals

Catarina Rocha unleashed a devastating kick in the last 400 yards to move from 5th to 2nd in the Footlocker National Cross-Country HS Championship in San Diego on December 8.

After playing soccer in her freshman year, Cat switched to xc and in 3 years became one of the most dominant female high school runners to ever come out of New England. She won the Massachusetts cross-country title in her junior and senior years. She won the Northeast Region title in her senior year, and she qualified to compete in the national championship in all three years. Running against the top 40 in the country each December, she finished 31st in her sophomore year, 7th in her junior year, and 2nd as a senior.
Although Cat comes from a family of talented runners -- her parents (Joe and Gina) and uncle (Fernando Braz) were all national finalists -- she is her own person. Gina says “The nice thing is that she’s a real humble kid and that makes me very proud. When you look at her high school career, what she wants most to be remembered for at Peabody High School is that she made a difference there and not through her running. She’s been secretary of the class for four years now. She’s involved in numerous organizations and she’s trying to build a community center for disadvantaged youths in our downtown area. I think that’s what Catarina wants to be remembered for. Any little bit of difference she’s made in someone’s life, that’s what Cat’s about.”
Cat is an assistant coach in the GTD Youth Speed and Conditioning summer program.
