Middle School Cross Country (grades 6-8)


Youth Activities and Classes / After School Youth Activities / Middle School -
Fall 2024

For any Centennial Middle School student - no experience required. 

Do you enjoy being outdoors?  Do you want to meet new people? If the answer is yes, please consider joining the middle school cross-country running team. This activity is for everyone. Best of all - no experience required. The goal of the cross-country program is to introduce kids to running, and to provide a venue for kids to meet and interact with other kids in a team setting. We have found that our cross-country athletes gain self-confidence and improve their ability to compete against themselves and others in their own age group. As a team, we celebrate individual improvements and achievements throughout the season.

The season will consist of after-school practices and meets, 5 away and 1 home meet at Centennial. The race distance is 1.2 miles over varying terrain including grass, dirt, gravel, and pavement. Practices will include stretching, running games, and distance runs. 

Sports physicals are highly recommended for 7th and 8th grade students prior to registration. Sixth grade students currently do not need a physical. Physicals are good for three years unless restrictions exist.

Students have the option to ride the activity bus on Mondays through Thursdays, which departs at 4:45 pm Otherwise, students can be picked up after practice, or after-school supervision is available at no additional cost for students participating in cross country. There is no activity bus on Friday.  For this reason, Friday practices are not mandatory if transportation is an issue. A shirt/uniform to wear for meets is included in the cost of the program. Practices may cancel due to inclement weather. Dates subject to change depending on meet dates.
