Cross Country
The Saints Academy offers a Cross Country Team for students in grades 5-8. Teams compete against other Middle School Teams on the North Shore in the fall. Practices will be held immediately after school on Monday and Wednesday, and the days of meets will vary. Practices will end at 3:15. Please arrange for your child to be picked up at that time in the school parking lot.
A schedule will be sent out via e-mail. Transportation to and from meets is to be arranged by parents, as well. The season runs through about Halloween (when the clocks change).
Their is a fee to participate which includes a Saints Academy Cross-country shirt. This fee also covers the cost of league fees and larger invitational meets.
Participants are expected to commit to this activity. If you do choose to participate, you must attend, at least one practice a week. Participation in cross-country is a privilege and will be dependent upon the student maintaining his/her academic and behavioral standing. Since we need to maintain an orderly, safe environment for all student-athletes, PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IS NEEDED. If you are able to help at practices and/or meets, please let us know below. If you choose to help, you must fill out a CORI form for this school year.
