Cross Country
Program Summary
Cross Country is a unique sport because it has at its core the element of adventure. All the miles logged in training not only develop strength and speed, but also discipline, integrity, and team camaraderie. No experience is needed—just commitment to the team and one’s best. Everyone competes, and everyone inspires. The program has a proud history, with the girls’ teams winning 12 State, 12 Regional, and 14 EKL titles, while the boys’ teams have earned 8 State, 17 Regional, and 16 EKL championships.
