Cross Country

PRACTICE LOCATION
All practices are planned to start/finish at Phoenix HS.  In the event of a rare indoor relocation due to smoke or heat, watch the team Facebook page for day-of announcements.  
*Please note: students may use the gym for free over the summer, but they need to be registered at Planet Fitness; please be sure you do this before arriving there (click on the red link, zip code is 97501, and be sure to select the south Medford location).
 

See our Recruitment Flier for information on our Cross Country team.  This flier is used on the high school campus and with Talent Middle School 8th graders to inform about our program.

Please see our teams' Facebook page for team news and photos dating back to 1964!

Nutrition and other health information.

We have a non-running strengthening routine we incorporate into our daily practices, with different pieces/focuses on different days.  Here are mp4 videos for some of them:  VIDEO NEEDS TO BE RE-UPLOADED

Our team has open practices over the summer, wherein we welcome anyone grades 6-12 to run with us.  Email john.cornet@phoenix.k12.or.us if you'd like information.
