Middle School Cross Country

Orangewood's Cross Country team encourages student-athletes to become competitive distance runners through the development of their physical, mental and emotional skill sets and character. Through their participation in the cross country team, they will create a foundation for life-long fitness and positive character traits to meet challenges both inside and outside the athletic realm. By nature, distance runners are a unique community; fiercely competitive, yet incredibly supportive, individuals chasing his/her own goals, but also a team working together for the greater goal. Runners push each other to give their best and not give up.

There are so many correlations between distance running and our Christian faith.  As Christians, we are called to lift each other up and support each other and there is no better place to see our faith lived out than at a cross country meet. Our hope is that by being a part of Orangewood's Cross Country team, our student-athletes would see their faith come to life and they would grow fully into who God created them to be.
