Cross country is a tough event for juvenile athletes and your coaches will be picking athletes to compete whom they feel will be able for the challenge now. In Dec 16 there will be the cross country relays, a team event where the distances will not be as long and way more athletes will be eligible to be picked. We had a great turn out on the relays last year and would hope for an even bigger number of teams to compete this December.
