Junior Cross Country Team

 Cross Country

Cross country is long-distance running in which teams of runners compete over open or rough terrain. The significant difference between cross-country running and track and field running is the variability of both weather and footing. The courses may include grass, sand, hills, mud, woodlands, and water.  The program is open to all Mount Olive residents between the ages of 6-14 who are in kindergarten through eighth grade. All athletes must be 6 years old by December 31st of that year.
