Uniforms
To compete at meets, each athlete must have the official uniform shirt and shorts. If they have a uniform from last season or from track that still fits, they’re welcome to use it this season.
Parents must order uniforms directly from our online store, courtesy of SportLoft.

Cross-Country Code of Conduct:
- At the start of each race, the officials will line up runners in assigned spaces, therefore do not “coach” runners to stand elsewhere.
- As you cheer our runners, don’t run alongside them. “Pacing” can get a runner or team disqualified.
- As runners finish each race and enter the queue for collecting tags and awarding medals, do not hand them water bottles or stop them for any reason; wait until they have been moved through the queue.
