BRITTON CROSS COUNTRY

2019-2020

Cross Country is open to all interested 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. There will be a tryout the first week. Athletes should be able to run a minimum of 1.5 miles without walking.

Students must provide transportation to and from meets and practices. Parent carpools can be formed to help accommodate all participants.              

Parent volunteers are welcomed. Parents helping with driving, meets or practices will need to volunteer clearance through the district.  

Students should bring a completed athletic participation slip by the second tryout/practice or turn it in to any PE teacher in advance.  

Tryout begins: Tuesday August 27nd 3:10pm. 

Regular practices will be Monday- Thursday from 3:10 to approximately 4:15. Meets are generally once a week. Students will be running, under supervision, on roads near Britton. Athletic shoes and attire are recommended. The season ends approximately mid-October.

An important parent/guardian meeting for all participating athletes will be held within the week of the season, following practice (approximately 4pm following practice).

Students must be academically eligible with at least a 2.0 G.P.A. Britton will supply Meet jerseys. The students must provide their own shorts. A good pair of running shoes is highly recommended. There is no fee to participate, however a $10.00 donation to the program will be greatly appreciated. Britton Cross Country t-shirts will be available for $10 at the parent meeting.Thank you,
