Fall 2026 Season Schedule (New - posted 7/23/26)
-
Athletic Clearance - Athletes need to obtain athletic clearance to practice, join the roster, and compete in meets. This includes an up-to-date athletics physical exam certificate. In other words, after August 10, you can't do anything with the team until you are cleared!
Practice Schedule
This is a competitive team, and success in cross country requires consistent time in training. The team will gather for non-mandatory conditioning workouts 4 to 5 times a week from June 15 to August 8.
Beginning on August 10, practices will be held 3:55-5:55pm, Monday through Friday, Wednesdays 6:25-7:50am at the track, and 9:00-10:30am on Saturdays. We may sometimes move afternoon practices to early morning or 7:00pm if very warm weather is anticipated. Most training will take place at or very near the school, some will take place at nearby county regional parks like Riverfront, Foothill, or Spring Lake. To participate on the team, athletes must commit to attending 4 or more practices weekly. Typical weekly training mileage will range from 20 miles per week for novice-level runners to more than 50 miles per week for a few advanced varsity level athletes.
Competition Schedule
We anticipate participating in around 10 "regular season" competitions this year, with most of them on Saturdays (requiring some regional travel of 1-2 hrs) plus a couple of mid-week local meet. We will have two overnight travel meets for a limited roster. The first inter-scholastic competition is scheduled for Friday, August 28, and the competitive season will last through at least November 7 (NBL Championships), and perhaps a few weeks longer for athletes that qualify for post-season competitions!
Fundraising and Volunteering
A quality experience for a competitive high school cross country team requires resources - both in terms of financial funding and volunteer hours. While not a requirement to participate on the team, we ask athletes and families to participate in fundraising efforts to offset the costs we will incur such as meet entry fees, cash transportation expenses, uniform expenses, and year end awards. Similarly, we will ask families to volunteer time by signing up for car-pools to local parks for some workouts and competitions, host team dinners, or to help conduct a very few local meets.
