Cross Country
TRYOUTS:
Cross country tryouts will take place during PE classes sometime in September. All students who run a mile fast enough to qualify will be eligible to join the team. Exact times can vary by year, but the girls one-mile qualifying time is usually between 8:20-9:00, depending on their grade. The boys one-mile qualifying time is usually between 7:10-8:00, depending on their grade. If a student runs the mile fast enough and chooses to join the team, they will need to be medically cleared.
