YMS Cross Country

2014 YMS Cross Country

May 2, 2014

Yorkville's high school cross country team won the girls and boys state championships last season, and the middle school teams both finished in the top five in the state. This success isn't because the coaches focus on the top runners, however. We want to make cross country a fun, social experience while helping every runner become the best they can be. Ask current cross country runners how much fun the sport is and you'll realize cross country is more than just running. The cross country program is Yorkville is as close to a family as you'll find outside your actual family.

For more information about our cross country program you can check out our team packet.

What Should I Do Over The Summer?

Cross country can be a difficult, but rewarding, sport. To get the most out of it we highly recommend running over the summer. Endurance Camp is a summer running camp run by the high school and middle school cross country coaches. We run every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning from June 9 to August 1 from 7:15 to 8:45am.

Any questions you have about the team can probably be answered on our FAQ page, or by contacting one of the coaches.
