WELCOME to Moran's Cross-Country Webpage. Cross-Country runners are special kinds of athletes. They compete in conditions most other athletes would not. The first challenge that an athlete will encounter is the length of the course. Each course is approximately 2-miles long. The courses they run on during the season each have their own challenges. Although most course are flat, they may have a series of hills and valleys that challenge the best of runners. Athletes will have to navigate their way through fields and woods, while avoiding tree limbs, pricker bushes, and rocks & roots sticking out of the ground. And in the meantime, trying to finish the course in their fastest time possible.
****If you did not make the team and want to know what you could do to improve your chances next year, send Coach Scursso
