Informal summer runs will begin on Tuesday, June 16th at 6PM in front of the gym. Throughout the summer, we will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6PM.  We will also have Saturday morning runs at 9AM.

Although this website is the main source for team information, we will be setting up an e-mail roster as well. If you wish to sign up for the cross country team, please e-mail me at erndog@alumni.princeton.edu so I have your address. Also, if your parents wish to receive team communications, they can e-mail me as well.

All athletes planning on running cross country need to complete an athletic packet.  It's a good idea to schedule your physical during the summer and get that out of the way so you won't have to sit out any meets during the season.  

CROSS COUNTRY FALL TRIP!  We are planning on attending the Whitney Young Invitational in Chicago, IL.    The general plan is to leave Friday morning (9/25) and return Monday afternoon (9/28).  The race itself is on September 26th.  We have reserved rooms and plane tickets for 24 athletes (12 boys and 12 girls).   We will  need some parent help to coordinate transportation to and from the airport (San Jose).

Selection for the trip will be as follows:
1) The returning varsity runners already have secured spots.  The returning boys are:  Paul Summers, Robert Chen, Alex Johann, Ethan Glassman, Aaron Guggenheim, Rory Runser, and Daniel Krigel.  The returning girls are:  Lisa Fawcett, Emma Dohner, Kieran Gallagher, Rachel Bent, Liza Marinaro, Claire O'Connell, and Rachel Wittenauer.
2) We will have a time trial the first week of school to determine the remaining spots.
3)  If two athletes are close, seniority (years on the cross country team) will take priority.
