Raider Boy's Cross Country
Cross Country (XC) is a distance running sport. Our meets consist of a 2-mile trail running course usually on Saturdays (some are not). Our average mileage will be 10 - 12 miles a week for 7th graders and 15 miles a week for 8th graders. The first day of school we will talk about the upcoming season then pass out information concerning cross country. Practice will begin the second day of school with runners attempting to run 1.5 miles without stopping. Runners will not be able to participate in a meet until they can complete two miles without stopping. PLEASE make sure you have your online paperwork filled out and a physical completed by a physician using the UIL forms below. Practices for 7th graders are from 7:15 to 8 a.m. in the morning. They will then shower and eat breakfast. 8th graders will practice from 2:30 to 3:45 p.m. The three most important requests are:
- Fill out online forms on HPISD Athletic website https://highlandparkisd.rankonesport.com/New/Home.aspx
- Obtain Physical using UIL forms on HPISD Athletic website
- Pay ACE fees
