Cross Country begins October 1st
This year's Cross Country practices will be on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning on October 1st. We will practice from 3:45 to 4:30 pm. If you are currently in another sport, feel free to join when your other season ends. Cross country is open to all students in grades 5 through 8. Practices are voluntary but all are encouraged to come and have fun getting ready for the cross country meets.
The first cross country meet we can participate in is Saturday, October 6th at St Croix Lutheran Academy in West St Paul. This meet will begin at 8:30 am, with an experimental 3/4 mile run for grades 3 & 4. Grades 5 & 6 will follow with a mile race, then Grades 7 & 8 will run 1.5 miles. We need to provide a list of interested people by Sept 28th for this event, so please contact Ross Collins at 714-441-1376 or r.acollins1@juno.com if you are interested.
The second meet, which we traditionally have participated in, is the afternoon of Wednesday, October 17th. In the past, Grades 5-7 have run one mile and grade 8 runs a mile and a half. More information will be available at a later date on this meet. If you have any questions, reach out to Ross Collins or Jessica Klatt.
