[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you! Cross Country sounds perfect for her! Is it a varsity sport like other teams? Or is it more like a club sport? [/quote] XC is wonderful! In general, the team will hold informal practices over the summer, then official practices will start about two weeks before school starts. Near the end of that period, they'll do one or more "time trials" ... timed races on the home course. (Probably 3.1 miles.) The top 7 will be varsity, everyone else will be JV. If it's a large school with a large program, the freshmen sometimes run their own races at invitationals. Those are a little shorter -- 3K, I think. Almost every kid improves significantly over the course of the season, and runners are generally good, supportive kids. I love it for my kids! [/quote]
