Hopewell Cross Country 2025-2026 Highlights
COACH: Samara Hargrove EMAIL: SAMARA_HARGROVE@ROUNDROCKISD.ORG
**This information is subject to change**
PLEASE NOTE that cross country is considered a club sport at the middle school level where athletes (who are current 7th or 8th graders at Hopewell) compete at neighboring Round Rock campuses in the 2-mile run on various terrains. All practices will take place AFTER school Monday through Thursday from 3:45-4:45 (tryouts go through 5:15 for the week of 8/18 and then practices go until 4:45 once tryouts have concluded for athletes who make the team). Meets also take place after school. Athletes must make the team and commit to participating in the meets in order to be allowed to practice with the team. Because this is a club sport, STUDENTS/PARENTS MUST PROVIDE THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM MEETS. Meets in past years have taken place at Stony Point High School, Walsh Middle School, and Old Settler's Park but this is subject to change.
This season’s meet tentative dates and locations are:
9/3 - Meet 1 (Location Pending)
9/10 - Meet 2 (Location Pending)
9/20 - McNeil Invitational
