Welcome to the proud tradition of Hale Cross Country!
Learn more about the team on our Records and History tab! There you will find season books that detail each season! Feel free to email Coach Mach [email protected] with any questions. The team is excited to have you join (or learn more about) our proud tradition!
What exactly is Cross Country?
Every weekend we race against hundreds of other athletes over 5k courses at different parks throughout the area and state. It is the ultimate team sport as the five fastest finishers from each team score points for the team, while all the others add points to other teams.
But, I never did cross country.
That’s good! Most every athlete that joins is brand new to the sport of xc. Current and past athletes come from all backgrounds. Almost every athlete on cross country plays/played other sports as well. It is amazing how far the sport and team can take you in your four years here. Opportunity, friendships and memories await.
Is it just running?
No! We focus on building fast runners of course, but this is done through creating strong all around athletes. You will be amazed how much better you get at running and all that you will learn in becoming a better person and teammate. Our team also does activities such as an overnight summer camp, team picnics, weekly pasta parties, volunteering, fun competitive games and much more!
