Cross Country
Cross Country is for anyone in 7th or 8th grade at the Belding Middle School. The 2011 season will begin on August 22 at 4:00 p.m. If you are interested, please meet at the high school lower lobby by the gym entrance and bring running shoes and comfortable clothing.
Practice will meet everyday after school from 2:45-4:00 p.m. We hope to see lots of students looking to have fun and build healthy activities.
If you have any questions please contact Coach Carlson at 794-1025
Cross country is a team sport where high school athletes run 3.1 miles and middle school athletes run 1.5 miles. Races are run on lots of varied surfaces including city parks, golf courses or sometimes a county fairgrounds. The Belding Area Schools home course is located at Lightning Bend Park, and we also use a section of property courtesy of the Belding Tank Tech Company. Everyone makes the team in cross country – there are no cuts.
