We will focus on our local elementary, middle, and private schools within the S.V.U.S.D., encompassing roughly 10,000 individuals; however, any interested young runner from a neighboring school district will not be turned away. Cross country is the fastest growing sport in C.I.F., and our mission is to embrace the future by providing an opportunity for young, aspiring distance runners to train and develop appropriately in an enjoyable, competitive atmosphere. The young athletes will be trained to be competitive; however, mileage will be sensible and geared toward age, experience, and ability. All of the distance runners will be trained to race, from one mile to a 5K (3.1 miles), and while our club is coed, the young athletes will train with his or her own gender.
