Cross Country

About the Program
Cross country is a fall sport that runs from August to October (possibly the first week of November). Practices are held after school, and athletes train four days a week. A typical practice consists of warm-up stretching, a long-distance run of about 3-5 miles, a core workout, and a final stretch routine. Meets are normally held on Fridays and Saturdays with 6-8 meets during the season. Meets are held at a variety of different locations within or close to a one-hour drive from ECS.

2023-2024 Season
Each member of the Cross Country team set personal records on September 30 at the Woodbridge High School Invitational. Coach Cutrona commented, “It has been amazing to see them get better each meet and to see their hard work paying off.” It appears that their participation in our EagleFest 5K helped get their season jumpstarted and they are beginning to heat up! It’s only a matter of time before they start bringing home trophies.
