"Intent to Improve"

This is the most important attitude that an athlete can have as a member of this team. This applies to any athlete, at any level of fitness. We, as coaches, are committed to meeting every athlete at their level and giving them the guidance they need to improve as a runner. Participating as an athlete in cross country should always be rewarding through improvement of performance, the creation of friendships, and the growth of self-confidence.

Practice starts the first week of school! We meet right after school on the track.

No matter what your athletic background is, our large coaching staff will ensure you will find the event that fits you!

Girls Track & Field is a fantastic way to meet the best group of girls, get active, and learn new skills! This sport is broken up into two seasons.

Outdoor season begins after spring break and when we transition to outdoor practices and meets.
