Middle School Cross Country grades 7th & 8th
  • The 7th and 8th graders will focus on developing positive running techniques, building relationships with their peers and coaches and mostly just having a good time while developing a passion for running! 
  • We will practice Monday through Friday at the high school from 4pm-5:15pm. 
  • We will race approximately once per week. Races are generally 1.5 miles in length. If a 7th or 8th grader has potential and is looking to race up at the 5k level, it is an option we can look at when the timing is right.
High School Cross Country grades 9th-12th
  • 9th - 12th graders practice Monday through Friday from 3:45-5:30pm and Saturdays from 8:30-10:00am. 
  • All 9th-12th graders race at the 5k level on either JV or Varsity. 
  • We usually race 1 time per week with the exception of a few weeks where we have 2 races. 
  • Cross country running consists of, easy social runs, interval based runs, hill workouts, track workouts, strength training, core work, relays and numerous games!
