[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is an incoming freshman  and has never been involved in organized sports at school (during middle school.)   She has recently started running and is thinking about joining cross country.    
Is there a certain "level" she should be at before she even approaches the coaches about joining--like she should be able to run X number of miles in less than Y minutes?   Or she should be maintaining a certain number of miles per week?

I know this might vary somewhat by schools and is probably a good question to ask the coaches...but she is somewhat shy and being new at school (all her friends from middle school will be attending a different high school) she doesn't want to look silly inquiring of the coach if she is not even close to the performance level required.

Thanks for any insight![/quote]

The races are 5K (3.1 miles). This summer, she should run a few times a week to ensure that she can cover that distance comfortably. Her coaches will help her get faster once the practices start. Cross Country is a great sport! It was also be a good way to make new friends in the fall. Good luck to her.[/quote]
