SMS Cross Country

We're committed to building the aerobic engine our athletes need to excel in cross country. By progressively increasing their running time, they'll be ready to tackle the 2-mile distance with strength and confidence. 

Minimizing injury is a key priority. Therefore, strength and flexibility training will be integral components of our workouts. 

Setting personal goals will guide our daily work throughout the SMS Cross Country season. Above all, we'll ensure the experience is fun, cultivating a lasting enjoyment of running that we hope will become a lifelong habit. 

Cross Country practice kicks off on August 24th!

Practices will be held at the Middle School Monday through Friday* from 3:00 to 4:30 PM.

Please note: Friday practices will take place at Smith's Fork Park. Athletes will need to be picked up at that location at 4:30 PM.

Remember to bring water to each and every practice!

For your well-being, please also pack a towel or mat. Let's keep our focus on running and improvement during practice.
