WE WILL WORK WITH ANY OTHER SPORTS SCHEDULES IN ORDER TO GET YOUR CHILD TO EXPERIENCE CROSS COUNTRY. Strength in numbers.

6th graders have the option to run one mile races or two mile races. 7th/8th must run the two mile races.

There will be summer practices starting in late July. Practices run at night (6:30PM-8:00PM) at various locations in the area and are NOT mandatory.

Once school starts practices will be after school from 3:00PM-4:45PM everyday with 7-9 meets to compete in (usually one a week) during the week.
