Cross country is a long distance running sport. Athletes race 3.1 miles across grass, dirt, gravel, and sometimes a little asphalt. Runners can score points for the team based on their finishing position- in cross country, the lowest total number of points determines which team is the winner.

Cross country is first and foremost a TEAM sport. Every student athlete has the ability to impact the team. Runners are encouraged to work together on race day to achieve the best possible result for the team.

While only the top 7 runners score points during a meet, every runner is running to try to improve their position or achieve a goal or personal best. We're an inclusive sport- if you're willing to work hard, run, and have fun, then cross country is the sport for you!
