PHILOSOPHY: Our philosophy is to create and implement a positive athletic cross-country program, whereby student athletes will learn the basics of running, improve their running throughout the season, compete with sportsmanship, work together as a team and have FUN.

Cross Country is open to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders of ALL abilities. Athletes can have running experience previously or be new to running. As coaches, we want to foster a LOVE 😍 for running regardless of experience.
