Cross country. The one sport that doesn’t have many players in it, and isn’t really talked about. Many say they don’t reach for it because they don’t like to run, or simply because they “can’t run.” What they don’t know, is that the athletes are conditioned for it. The races are around 3 miles each and you must go at a fast pace, but it’s something you practice for.
In a race, (which is also called a meet), the runners are either Varsity or Junior Varsity. To win in this sport, a team can have 7 runners but must have 5 to compete at a race. Those five runners are able to gain points for themselves and then add them together. Cross country is different, the less points you have as a team, the better placement you get. As an individual, the placement you are in while running (5th, 25th, 70th. etc.) are the points you end with for the end for yourself.
