Cross Country

Do you like running? If you do, you should try Cross Country. In Cross Country (CC), you practice running every day, at least at my school. Cross Country is in Autumn-Winter (in general). Every Thursday we have a meet (meets may occur on another day, or may be cancelled due to weather).

In each meet, you race against other schools, usually 1 or 2. The races are all of the boys, then all of the girls, or vice versa. Sometimes we go to invitationals, which is A LOT of schools at one meet.

Each runner gets their individual place/time, and each team either wins against the opposing team, or loses. Let’s say there’s a meet between three towns. Town A may beat both Town B and Town C. Town B may beat Town C, and Town C may lose to both Town A and Town B.

Well, you should see if there’s a Cross Country team at your school, and if you’re old enough to sign up.
