Cross Country is a sport for both boys and girls and focuses on races ranging from 1.5 to 1.8 miles.  The philosophy is to develop young adults into fit, competitive runners while maintaining positive attitudes with a strong regard for citizenship.  Cross country is the only MSHSAA sport offered at this level, and practices usually begin the first week of school and our last meet is usually at the end of October.  Cross country participates in 5-7 meets a season with other area schools.  

Sponsors: Mr. Martin and Mrs. Heine

Running club is a group of students who want to further the progress that was made during the cross country season.  Middle school students run with high school students under the supervision of the middle school or high school coach.  The focus of the program is less on competition and more on the benefit and love of running.  It is also open to those students who would like to explore running for next season.
