Cross country will start training with fun runs in the summer and the season starts in early August and runs through early November, contact the Athletic Department office if you have questions! One of the most important objectives of our competitive cross country program is to develop the endurance and competitiveness of each of our students. This emphasis creates a great opportunity for our students to develop to the point where they may obtain scholarships enabling them to participate at the college level and work towards a college degree. As a result, this focus on students’ skill development ultimately leads not only to the success of the individual student, but also to the success of our teams/organizations in competition.
Students can learn many valuable lessons as they participate in a competitive sport/activity. Among these lessons are citizenship, sportsmanship, appreciating good play by an opponent, working together to meet team goals, responsibility and commitment to team and school, loyalty, placing team above self, learning to accept instruction and criticism, respect for others, winning and losing with dignity, self-control, and being responsible for one’s own actions.
