Cross Country

Dear Parents/Guardians,

This program is designed to give children an opportunity to work on their own personal fitness in a friendly and competitive environment.  The emphasis will be on personal growth, personal improvement, and understanding healthy life choices in relation to fitness.

This program is open to all boys and girls in New Prairie schools that are in grades 3 - 5.  Students will race against their own grade level and gender.  The distance that the elementary school students will be running is 1 mile.  Each elementary school (Olive, Prairie View, Rolling Prairie) will host one competition, and the season will conclude with an end of season tournament that will be held on the high school cross country course.

The only required equipment for this is for a student to have comfortable running shoes, cross country running spikes are not required.  Parents will be required to purchase a running shirt (Approximately $10-$15) for a student to use during meets and the tournament.  The shirt will be purchased online, I will be sharing the website.  There is assistance available if you are unable to purchase this, please contact me at danielreffo@npusc.k12.in.us if you require this assistance.
