Cross country is an ideal primary or off-season sport as it builds core strength and conditioning to better prepare students for the demands of other sports, games, and life. Cross country provides a wonderful opportunity for students of all abilities to be part of a team, meet new individual challenges, and create a tougher mindset. Running can be a bit of a love/hate relationship, particularly when you are first starting out. It can be tough! But, that’s part of what makes it so worthwhile!

Cross Country FAQ
You will need good running/training shoes and comfortable weather-appropriate athletic wear. In the fall, this can mean different kinds of clothing as the weather changes; shorts and a t-shirt when it’s hot and more layers to peel off as the weather gets cooler. You may need dry socks and boots to slip into. Hats and gloves may be needed later in the fall. You’ll want sunglasses, sunscreen, and a water bottle as well.
Good running/training shoes
Once school gets out, you will go out of the building to stand/wait with your class during dismissal. Once the coach is ready (usually around 3:30), they will let you in the building to change and get ready for practice.
No, you may not go back in to the middle school or intermediate areas to use your locker.
Great! Go to those opportunities until they end at 330 and then join your team down in the gym to get ready for practice/the game.
We will gather at the meets 30 minutes prior to race time.
Students must provide their own transportation to/from away games. A carpool list will be
provided to parents if you opted to participate in that on the registration form. Coaches cannot
transport students to/from races.
There are no fees for meets this year.
No, any students not playing in that game will not have supervision after 3:30pm, just like a
normal school day. Siblings are allowed to attend the game with parent supervision. 7th and
8th grade students may attend unchaperoned as long as their behavior is appropriate.
Please make sure your shirt is clean and turn it in to the coach ASAP.
