Cross Country is a non-cut sport for girls and boys in grades 5-8. The Cross Country team is made up of a girls' team and a boys' team. Each team has three levels: Cadets (5th Graders), Junior Varsity (6th and 7th Graders), and Varsity (primarily 8th Graders). Athletes compete on a 2-mile course for time. The teams compete in the West Suburban Middle School Conference for the regular season and the Illinois Elementary School Association's State Series. Due to conference rules, cadets are not allowed to compete in conference races. Students only need shoes and the desire to work hard!
