By being part of this team, we hope to develop each individual's potential, self-esteem, and confidence. That each runner will grow as a result of his/her experience with the cross-country team. We expect our runners to take pride in their sport and to show dedication through their ability to follow directions, attend practice and maintain a positive attitude.

It is our goal that runners are students first and foremost. Fossil Ridge cross country has a reputation for having team members who take great pride in their class work as well as their performances on the course. In addition, we as coaches aim to produce a team that is well respected in the Fort Collins community and beyond, for both their athletic achievements and their positive contributions to their school and community.
