2016 Season Information
Dear 7/8 Cross Country Runner,
Welcome to the 2016 X-Country Season!
Our team is open to all interested participants and runners.
You don’t have to be experienced as a runner but you should have the desire to run for a team.
A cross-country team consists of seven members with the first five runners used in the scoring. And usually, cross-country allows everyone to compete; but, unfortunately, we can only allow the first fifty runners to make up our team since our bus can’t take more than that.
Things to consider when deciding on whether you should be in cross-country:
Coaches: Andrew Arthur and Mike Gilliland
Donation: We will be charging a $75 bus donation.
The cost goes toward our bus transportation.
Cash or Check made out to: “LCHS 7-8 Athletics”
Practice: We will conduct practice every Monday from 3-4:15pm.
We will meet in room 102 (Mr. Gilliland’s room). Don’t be late!
What to wear: Shorts (P.E. or running), and running shoes (please, no skateboarding or basketball shoes!)
Where do we train? All of our training runs will take place off campus. On my website you can link to a map of our route over the weekend before our Monday practice; so make sure to check where we’re going so you don’t get lost.
When and where the races are: a race schedule will be published on the website. A map of the race site will also be made available on the website. Also, on the practice before every race, you will receive information about it.
Race day: When we have to travel you may miss about 20-40 minutes of your last period class.

Things to consider when deciding on whether you should be in cross-country:
- We run between 2-5 miles during practices.
- Your fitness level: will you be able to stay with “the pack” during practice?
- Races are 2 miles in length over varied terrain: hills, flat, grass, dirt, rocky, etc…
