CROSS COUNTRY TEAM

Cross Country is a great sport for all ages, and is similar to long distance track races but is run on trails and over hills. CYO Cross Country is set up to be a low-key, fun introduction to the sport of running. Open to students in grades K-8, practices are not mandatory to allow students to participate in a second sport in the fall, though participation at the preliminary meets is required to participate in the championship meet. The level of effort and participation can be decided by you and your child.
