The HR cross country program is now entering its 7th season. The program has had some excellent runners over the years, many who have gone on to run at the high school level. Last year, our girls’ varsity team took second place in the CYO championships – our first team trophy! This year, we want to build on that success and to do that, we need more runners. The team encompasses grades Kindergarten – 8th grades. Practices are every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 6:15 at and around Holy Redeemer. Our meets are on Sundays, so they don’t conflict with CYO soccer games. We encourage runners of all abilities to give it a try. It is truly a sport that will build fitness, teamwork, and character. It will also improve your conditioning for other sports, like lacrosse and soccer. Come out, try a week, run a race — we guarantee you’ll be hooked. The first organizational meeting and practice will be on September 5th at 6:15 pm at Holy Redeemer’s lower field. Parents’ help/participation is always welcome either at practices or meets. Questions or concerns may be addressed to Grant Bonavia at [email protected] or Mark Toner at [email protected].
