The LMS Cross Country program is a distance running program open to runners of all levels. The program is structured to help runners compete in races ranging from 2 miles to 3 miles. Runners benefit from the team based atmosphere that helps students create strong bonds as well as helping runners push themselves to achieve their own personal best. 

Practice:

• There are no practices on half days, days school is closed, and inclement weather. The team will be notified via announcement if practice is canceled and should go home.  

• Attendance is required and expected unless communicated via player or parent before the practice. We will run a Cross Country Google Classroom for all communication.
