Welcome to the Lakeside Cross Country homepage. Our interest meeting went well! We had a great turnout. I am updating the page with all info covered (5/16/24)
Cross Country is a distance running sport. The team has meet ups and captain lead runs over the summer. Please run, run, run and build up that endurance! I have a recommended running plan for those just starting out on the documents page. We practice 5-6 days a week either on campus, at the Canal, or at Blanchard Woods Park. I will send out schedules weekly on Sunday through Remind.
Meets are usually on Saturday mornings, we have the occasional after school Thursday meet. I choose meets that allow me to race everyone either in Varsity or in JV races. Included below is the tentative schedule and "To Do" list for the upcoming year.
Updates
-Try outs this coming season. We will do a 2 mile time trial, you will provide a paper copy of 22/23 report card, and you will sign a contract on behavior, attendance, and team ethics.
-XC will no longer have a Region race. There will be 2 sectional races for our division. 12 teams from each Sectional and top 20 runners advance to State.
-Included in next years weekly schedule will be assigned jobs. These will be helping with water coolers and carrying team gear and first aid kits.
-We will meet in my room a couple times to discuss, form, proper recovery, and maintaining stress.
-Poor attendance will not be tolerated, 3 unexcused absences will lead to suspension. Also, "day of" messages for known absences will not be accepted.
