Important Season Info

Team Donations

The Cross Country program is funded 100% by parent donations to the program. These fees go towards bus transportation, equipment replacement, timer and judge fees, meet entries, coach stipends, and more. To donate, please go to this site to make your donation: Cross Country Donation

Schedule

Please look at the schedule carefully and block out the meet dates. Cross Country is a team sport, and it is important for each runner to participate. DAL meets are mandatory and Invitationals are highly encouraged to get the full experience. Invitationals are on the weekends and give runners a chance to run on courses multiple times in a season.

Those who make Varsity will go on to NCS and potentially State Meet. These meets should be in the plans. Every year, a couple of newer runners show Varsity potential by making a lot of progress in the season. 

Equipment for the Season

• Quality running shoes - new running shoes at the start of each season are extremely important for injury prevention. Most kids will need trainers and racing shoes for the season. For any questions, reach out to the coaches. Forward Motion in Danville and Athletic Outpost in Walnut Creek have an excellent service and discounts for Las Lomas students.

• Water bottle, post run nutritious snack

• Uniform: For new athletes, you must purchase your own uniform top. This will be a one time purchase. 

  • Boys will purchase shorts and top

  • Girls will purchase just the top and buy black bottoms separately

How to Register on SportsNet

For those who have registered already on SportsNet, make sure you are medically cleared. You can verify by logging in. We will let kids know on the first day of practice too.

Athletes who have not participated in a sport in the 2024/2025 school year, every parent must create a parent/guardian user account on SportsNet to register their athlete for Las Lomas Sports and submit a new season medical clearance form before they can join any practices. For all athletes planning to participate, please login to SportsNet and select Track and Field. This will add you to the team roster. If you have any questions about the process, please ask one of the coaches.
