Run with us! Registration for the 2022 CYO Cross Country season is underway for 3rd-8th graders in our parish. Visit cyojwa.org/current-programs to sign up.
 
Joining the Cross Country team is an awesome way to get some exercise, have fun with friends and develop a lifelong love of running. All you need is a pair of shoes and a little bit of determination. Registration is $120 and includes a jersey.
 
Kids are allowed to play two CYO sports per season (i.e. XC in addition to volleyball or football). Even if you’re playing another sport and might have to miss a practice or a meet, we’d still love to have you on the team.
 
Meets & Race Lengths
Cross Country meets will be held on Saturday mornings at 9 a.m., and are scheduled for 9/17, 9/24 and 10/8, followed by City Finals on 10/15.
·        7th-8th graders race 1.5 miles
·        5th-6th graders race 1 mile
·        3rd-4th graders race ½ mile
 
Practice 
Practice has begun! It is on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-7 p.m. for 5th-8th graders, and for 3rd-4th graders on Mondays only from 6-7 p.m.
 
Parents – are you a runner? Or would you like to help? We’d love to have you join us at practice! It’s a great way to get involved and get a little bonus exercise running, walking or helping time practice races. All volunteers must be VIRTUS trained.
