Welcome to Panther’s Cross Country! 

All requirements for competing in middle school sports must be completed before students may participate in Cross Country practices or meets.

Practices will begin on September 16th with Monday and Wednesday practices until 3:25pm. Late busses will be available.

Athletes must complete three full practices before being eligible to compete in a meet.

  Cheering squad welcome!

All meets are on Saturday mornings, between 8:30am to 12:30pm, with specific times and locations to be communicated as scheduled.

Busses will be provided for meets.  ALL athletes MUST ride the bus from Rachel Carson to each meet location and return to RCMS on the bus. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend the meets to cheer on their athlete, and will need to drop off and pick up their student from Rachel Carson Middle School.

We will need parent volunteers at both home and away meets so if you are able to help out, please sign up here! On October 5th, RCMS will be hosting the Cross Country meet on site and we will need lots of extra volunteers.  Please consider helping out.

Specific meet details will be provided to registered families via email before the events.

We look forward to an exciting season!
