In the spring of 2018, our team started as an after-school activity. Our Running Club had only 13 runners, who ran at the Twin Cities in Motion TC Kids Cross Country Fun Run as well as a TCGIS fundraiser race around Lake Como.

Beginning in the fall of 2018, TCGIS had its first official cross-country season with around 30 harriers, competing at invitationals around the Twin Cities, including Lakeville's Minijack Invite and Shoreview's Tom Watson Mustang Invitational. Spring 2019 brought our team's first outdoor track-and-field season with meets in Lakeville and at Central High School against other middle schools in Saint Paul. We also raced at the Twin Cities 1-Mile in Minneapolis and the Germanic American Institute's Lederhosenlauf 5K in front of the Minnesota State Capitol. During the summer of 2019, three of our athletes with our coaches participated in the weeklong University of Minnesota XC Camp.

Our 2019 cross-country season was very successful. We had a record of 40 runners, who competed at even more meets than the previous year. We joined the cross-country conference with several other middle schools around the Twin Cities, including Yinghua Academy and Lake Country School. Our 7th and 8th grade boys won their division championship in the conference. In September, our harriers ran through mud and rain at the Milaca Mega Meet in likely the largest non-collegiate cross-country race in the United States with hundreds of middle schoolers and 9th graders. To end the season, we drove to Madison, Wisconsin, to compete in the cold and wind at the 2019 USATF National Junior Olympic XC Championships against runners from all over the country.

December 2019 marked the start of our first indoor track-and-field season, and we had nearly 60 athletes on the team, 1 in 4 of all TCGIS middle schoolers. We competed at USATF meets located at universities around the Twin Cities. We competed against other athletes of all ages, and one of our sprinters even broke 60 seconds in the 400m at the USATF indoor state championship meet. Only two weeks later, everything shut down for COVID-19. Our 2020 outdoor track-and-field season was done virtually with no team competitions. We did, however, conduct a marathon relay along the 2019 course for the Twin Cities Marathon, in which each athlete ran between 1 and 3 miles before waving at the next runner instead of handing off a baton.

Although our plans to compete in summer track meets through USATF and a second visit to the UM XC camp were foiled, our athletes still came together to practice throwing, distance running and sprinting throughout the summer, following the new COVID guidelines. The summer off-season flowed into the fall cross-country season. All of the normal meets had been canceled, but our team raced in time trials weekly and even invited two other teams from our XC conference to participate, Christian Heritage Academy and Avalon. All of our races took place at parks where we had had meets in previous seasons.

During the break between cross-country and our winter season, COVID-19 returned to send our team into virtual practices. By the end of our winter season, we were able to hold a handful of in-person practices. Our outdoor season in the spring was a return to normal practices, but we had few meets.  During the summer 2021, though, we competed at several USATF meets and had our largest summer team thus far.
