A little bit about CMS middle school cross-country...
The sport is a distance-running sport. Athletes run on grass, gravel, dirt, mud, and any other terrain that is available. The standard race distance is 2 miles. For most of the season, the team will practice Mondays through Thursdays from 3:00-4:30pm.
It's not a sport with a large fan base, but the friendships that you'll make through the season are golden. At the beginning of the season, we hold a time trial to determine varsity for our first race. The fastest 7 boys and the fastest 7 girls are considered the "varsity" team. After that, each week's top 7 is determined by the best 7 times at the previous race. ALL runners run at each race, with the exception of the state championships.
Absence policy: If a runner misses a race in which he/she would have been a varsity runner, the next fastest time gets bumped up to the varsity squad and the absentee will automatically run JV at the following race.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mr. Leach via email.
