Northern Cass Cross Country 

District 097

A great thing about cross country (XC) is that everyone competes! 

Everyone runs the same course, and although the first 7 runners to finish are considered the scoring team, at every meet, ALL athletes get to participate. 

There are no cuts, and no bench to sit on and watch while others play! Plus there is a race for everyone! 


Elementary: 1 mile 

Middle School/Junior High: 3 K (1.9 miles) 

 Junior Varsity/Varsity: 5K (3.2 miles)

The Coach 

My name is Coach JJ Johnson. I ran cross-country and track in high school at Warren-Alvarado-Oslo High School. I continued to run in college and as an adult, running marathons and half-marathons. As my family (and our fur babies) will confirm, I still run nearly every day as I am currently training for Ironman Cozumel 140.6 in 2023 . I have a great passion for the sport. Professionally, I work outside of the school district as a Nurse Practitioner.
