[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With respect, a "fun runner" will likely be on the JV team at any of the local private schools. While I understand there may be additional factors influencing your school selection, given that he is not expected to compete for a leading position, a suitable program would be one that offers a positive and encouraging environment. I agree with a PP that GDS is noted for its strong team spirit, so my recommendation would also be GDS.

PS - If you are not aware, varsity cross country is typically seven runners and a fast kid may take one of those seven spots for four straight years. [/quote]

Can you explain more about the PS? Is Varsity just the 7 fastest kid on the team regardless of age? [/quote]

Yes. Sometimes 10 depending on the meet and sometimes they will slide in a senior over a freshman on the back end. But generally 7 fastest runners run varsity, age is irrelevant. Even more so in girls XC where you frequently see superstar freshmen. [/quote]
