All 5th – 8th grade boys and girls are welcome to join the St. Ignatius Cross Country team!!    Students may participate in more than one St. Ignatius sport at a time.  BONUS THIS YEAR!  All Cross Country participants may participate in Wednesday morning TIGER STRONG at no additional cost during the Cross Country season.  

The team competes in roughly 3 meets plus the championships. Meets are quick and there is no expensive gear to purchase. 

The team technically competes as a team, but the emphasis is on personal growth, motivation, and fitness.  Participants see their times and confidence grow from week to week. The sport is very, very social with non-stop talking during practice so it’s a fun way for kids to get fit and hang out with new friends.
