[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Fairfax County high school has a wonderful cross-country team, but it is definitely a commitment in terms of practices (5 days per week) and meets.  It is also a "cut" sport.  To initially make the team, students need to be able to run 2 miles in under 15 minutes, and they expect that their time will drop to 2 miles in under 14 minutes within the first month on the team.[/quote]

Our FCPS HS doesn't cut  Everyone is accepted (especially those who didn't make the cut for the other winter sports).
The caveat is you must show up to 5x/day week practice/stay the whole time/meets, etc  You can't just come & go as you feel like. [/quote]

The great thing about running if you do this - you WILL get better. I ran cross-county starting my sophomore year after playing a different sport in 9th grade. By the next year, I was the team captain, we were one of the best teams in the city, and several of us qualified for the state meet.  ONE person had been a runner before high school. [/quote]
