Congratulations to the newest members of the 247 club!

The journey begins tomorrow! Dixon Performance is more than summer lifting and conditioning — it’s the foundation of our championship culture. 💜🏋️🏃🏼♀️
Every workout is an opportunity to build discipline, accountability, toughness, leadership, and pride in representing Dixon High School. Athletes who invest in the process together create stronger teams, stronger relationships, and stronger results during the school year.
Championship programs are built long before the first contest begins. They’re built through commitment, consistency, and competing together throughout the summer. Our goal is to create an environment where athletes support one another, push each other to improve, and take pride in wearing purple.
We encourage every athlete to fully commit to the summer process and continue building the standard of excellence that defines Dixon Athletics.
#BePurple
