They run in the wind, rain, and snow, never knowing what to expect. Both the boys’ and girls Junior Varsity and Varsity teams will continue on their winning ways.  The Boys’ Cross Country Team has won the North Coast League Title four times (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005). The Girls’ Cross Country Team has won two NCL titles (1995, 2002). The Boys’ squad were District Runner-Ups twice (1969, 1970) and District Winners in 2004.
