Middle School Cross Country
2024 Sherwood Middle School Cross Country Sign-up
This signup form will gather needed information for the 2024 Middle School Cross Country season.
The season will officially start on Monday, August 19 from 9:00 - 10:00 AM at the covered area behind SMS. Practices are Monday - Thursday. Once school begins on August 27, practices will be at the same location from 3:45 - 4:45 PM.
If you are not able to attend summer practice, it is fine to start when school begins.
We will not have a finalized meet schedule until after the start of the school year. However, we do know all meets will be after school M - Th. The season ends by the end of October.
No experience is necessary, but we do expect kids to try their best and follow the rules for safety and respect. If they are a beginning runner they will initially "run-walk-run-walk" at practices, but are expected to be able to run the full workout within 4 weeks (no matter what speed).
We use TeamSnap to communicate, so be sure to download the app to your phone.
Sarah Giles (sarahogiles@gmail.com) and Dani Coughran (dcoughran@sherwood.k12.or.us) are the co-head coaches. Feel free to email them for further information.
The fee will be $150 and can be paid by September 1st via Venmo at sherwoodtrack.com. Contact a coach to request a scholarship if there is a need.
Bring/wear to practice: a full water bottle, appropriate running clothes for the weather, and running shoes.
