Mudsock Track & Field + XC

2024 Cross Country Program Overview

We are excited to offer 1st through 12th graders an opportunity to participate in cross country for the 2022 fall season. Our focus will be on fitness, fun and training to participate in meets. Cross country meets will include local meets and the USA Track & Field State Meet held in early November, with the opportunity to advance to Regionals (late November) and Nationals (early December). We will also compete in the YES and IYTA youth xc series. This will be a great introduction to cross country or an opportunity to expand and extend the cross country season offered by local schools. The full meet schedule will be available on the league website, which can be found under the programs tab at myathletics.com, prior to the season. We encourage athletes to participate in their school cross country programs during the season and run with us once their school program concludes.
