Cross Country

Panther Cross Country is open to all students in Grades 3 through 8. This Fall sport begins in mid-September and ends in very early November. Practices are held weekly on the nearby exercise track and school grounds after dismissal.

Cross Country requires stamina and perseverance as athletes run long distances on an outdoor course that could include hills, rough terrain, and wooded areas. It is a lot of fun and competing against upwards of 15 other Catholic elementary schools only adds to the excitement. Medals are usually earned by the top 15 runners and they are divided by gender and grade levels.

The team is coached by Mrs. Frith.

We could always use help from parent volunteers at the meets which are held either on weekdays after school dismisses, or on weekends in September and October. If you can help us out, please contact Mrs. Frith at efrith@theacademyolp.org.
