Welcome back runners!
There will be an informational meeting on Thursday, September 3 at 7:30AM in the back gym.
Tryouts are Tuesday, September 8 and Wednesday, September 9 after school until 4PM.
Below is a copy of the 2026 Informational letter with important dates:
2026 Cross Country Tryouts – Information Letter
There will be an informational meeting on Thursday, September 3 at 7:30AM in the back gym for all students interested in trying out for the Cross Country team. Please make sure that all of your forms (specifically medical forms) have been submitted and cleared by Nurse Lontai before tryouts. For more information go to the Activities and Athletics tab on the WMS website: https://www.warrentboe.org/schools/middle/activities/
The WMS Cross Country travel team consists of 14 girls and 14 boys. Cross Country meets typically consist of a two mile run. We have home meets and away meets.
Tryouts are on Tuesday, September 8 and Wednesday, September 9 after school until at 4:00 PM. There is no late bus so you must have a ride home. Please meet in the gym dressed to run. Tryouts will consist of a 1.5 mile run. The top fourteen finishers (male/female) will be on the travel team. However, any athlete who tries out and does not make the travel team, may choose to remain on the training team. Those on the training team who come to practices will be included in the four HOME meets.
Practices are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (on non-meet days) after school until the end of after school activities (3:50 pm), depending on the weather. If there is a meet on a Tuesday or Friday, one of the practice days may be canceled. There will be no practice on meet days.
Visitors are welcome to all meets to cheer on the athletes. Home meets usually start between 3:30 and 3:45 (depending on the other team’s arrival) and they end around 4:30. All students competing in the home meets will need a ride home.
We expect all athletes to try their hardest and to be kind to each other. You represent your school, your coaches, your families and yourselves. Please always encourage each other and the other teams. Always show good sportsmanship. Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.
On away meet days, the bus leaves immediately after school and typically arrives back at school between 5:00 and 5:30 PM. If your parent guardian is driving you home from an away meet, you must email Coach Boni or Coach Scott prior to that meet. For those students taking the bus back to WMS, please keep in contact with your parent/guardian and arrange to have someone at WMS to pick you up when the bus arrives. The coaches will not leave until all athletes are picked up so please be respectful of the coaches’ time as we have our own personal and family obligations. Your spot will be in jeopardy if you cannot abide by these guidelines.
This year’s schedule so far is as follows:
INFORMATIONAL MEETING – Thursday, September 3 at 7:30AM – WMS back gym
TRYOUTS Tuesday, September 8 and Wednesday, September 9 until 3:50 – you will need a ride home
