The Cross Country season consists of 2 regular meets and a championship meet. To qualify for the championship meet, a runner must particpate in one of the regular meets. Our teams consist of JV Boys and Girls (Grades 5 & 6) and Varsity Boys and Girls (Grades 7 & 8). Athletes will receive navy blue Nike tempo shorts and a newly designed Cross Country Tank (see Coach Clark for the design competition). |

Coach Clark has developed the following goals for each runner:
- Runners will time themselves in a mile run. First goal will be to reduce 1 minute off that time before the season. (Remember runners only compete against themselves, so they can determine the outcome!).
- Use August and the start of September to acclimate to the weather and running.
- Use the last half of September to push for improvement, work on beating your earlier time!
- Have fun!
