PARK CITY CROSS COUNTRY 2016 Be a part of the tradition!!!
Team Meeting: Thursday, May 26th 2016 @ 2:30PM Treasure Mountain Junior High Room 24 (Stoughton)
***If you are unsure, or just want to find more information, please come to the meeting to ask questions. Parents are welcome! Q: What is cross-‐country? A. Cross-‐country is a high school sport in which competitors run a distance of 3 miles or 5 kilometers over grass, hills, rocks, and any other obstacle that may exist in nature. It is the most basic of all sports. There is a starting line and a finish line. Between those lines, each athlete runs as fast as humanly possible. Q: Why join the cross-‐country team? A. You will be part of a tradition of winning and success. You will gain strength, toughness, and speed. You’ll enjoy this team like no other team you’ve ever been a part of. We work hard, and we are successful. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. Q: So why would I want to run 3 miles? A: Cross-‐country makes you a better person. You learn humility, courage, pain, passion, and dedication. You build character. You push beyond your limits. You get to spend quality time with other dedicated, focused athletes. Q: I really care about grades. Will cross-‐country interfere with my academics? A: Our team GPA last year was 3.78 for the girls and 3.55 for the boys. We consistently rank as the top teams in the school academically. If anything, running XC might help your grades. The dedication and effort necessary to be successful in the classroom is the same as the dedication and effort necessary to be successful in cross country. Q: Do I have to run 10 miles a day? Will I make the team? A: Nope. In fact, a first year runner never runs more than 6 miles. You will only run 2-‐3 miles at the beginning. You will then progress in mileage as your ability permits. Everyone that comes to practice is on the team. If you show up, you get to compete in all the races and practices.
