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.  

INFORMATION MEETING FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS:  Tuesday, August 18th immediately after school at the lunch tables.   

1st practice ONLY is at St. Ignatius Monday, August 24th immediately after school until 3:45pm.  All other ractices are Mondays and Thursdays immediately after school at the American River Trail meeting spot at William Pond park.  Carpools available with volunteer hours posted on Helper Helper.  

The team competes in roughly 4 meets plus the championships.
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.
