Cross Country Registration Is Open

Raven Families,

Welcome back Raven Nation and a special WELCOME to our new families. We love our sports at SRLA, and it’s Cross Country season! If your child/children are interested in running with us this fall, please read this entire email as it contains a great deal of information about practices & meets.

Cross Country Team (XC)

The XC season runs from September until early November. Practices will begin Tuesday, September 13, 2021. The workouts consist of stretching, strength exercises, wind sprints, and kids running their meet distance twice to build stamina. We practice at Meisel Ave Park, Springfield, NJ

XC is open to grades K through 8.

 K, 1st and 2nd grade athletes participate in a non-competitive half-mile fun run at the beginning of each meet. 3rdgrade up participate in timed, competitive divisions as follows:

• JV Division – 3rd and 4th grades – ¾ mile
• JV Division – 5th and 6th grades – 1.25 miles
• Varsity       - 7th and 8th grades – 1.8 miles

PLEASE NOTE: Parents or caregivers of children in K-2nd grade who are participating must remain at practice and keep an eye on their children at all times.
