Tryouts will be on May 15 and 16, 2025.
The "tryout" period for DCMS Cross Country is strictly a time for your child to "test out" Cross Country. We understand that it is not for everyone, but we would love for anyone who is willing to try it out!
If a student comes out for the first few days, and he or she decides that cross country is "not their thing," then that's ok.
Runners must be present for all days of tryouts. (May 14-15)
How does a student "make" the cross country team?
Any student athlete who comes out and is committed, enjoys running, is willing to work hard and complete the exercises that are given in full, will be considered for the cross country team.
Athletes will have to run a specific distance during tryouts.
"Tryouts" are not a time where we expect runners to meet a certain pace, time, etc. We are looking for hard working, encouraging, and committed athletes.
*If your child is coming from one of the Elementary Schools, please plan to bring your child to DCMS at 3:45. We will be meeting outside by the stadium on Thursday and Friday. YOU MAY NOT PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY BEHIND THE STADIUM. Please plan to park and then walk your child down to check in.
*Tryouts will run from 3:40-5:00 each day. PLEASE plan to have your child picked up no later than 5:10 each day.
ALL RUNNERS are expected to participate in both days of tryouts unless he/she has previously communicated with the coaches.
