The cross country team is made up of students in grades 6-8 who enjoy running and want to participate in a team sport. Students are not cut from the team. We believe all students who are willing to set goals, follow the school’s expectations and consistently work hard will benefit from being a part of the team. Our goal is to create a supportive, positive and competitive environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle and physical fitness.

The boys and girls teams have achieved a great deal of success in the past, including earning the 2017 Southern Division championship. With a commitment to discipline, a positive attitude, motivation, teamwork and a good work ethic, we believe our team will continue to be successful.

To participate, each student athlete must complete a VHSL physical, risk and emergency authorization forms and the concussion information sheet. These forms are available in the front office and on the school website, and they must be submitted to the front office before attending tryouts. Runners are placed into groups based on their pace so they can train with teammates performing at similar levels.

The season begins during the second week of school and runs through the beginning of November. Practices are held daily from 2:15-3:30 p.m. Runners should be picked up by 3:30 p.m.

Meets are held on Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m., but, this time may vary (excluding championship).

Please continue to check for updates or new information on the Cross Country canvas page.

Tryouts will be held from Monday, Aug. 26 through Thursday, Aug. 29 from 2:15 p.m.-3:30 p.m.

A sports physical must be submitted on or before the first day of tryouts.

Please bring supportive running shoes and a bottle of water.

There are no cuts for Cross Country, but everyone is required to follow the rules enforced within the program.
