HASTINGS MIDDLE SCHOOL

Cross Country is open to all boys and girls in grades five through eight. Online registration for cross country will open on July 17. Parents are strongly encouraged to complete registration prior to the first day of school.   Athletes in grades six through eight are expected to practice daily Monday through Friday from approximately 2:45 until 5:00 p.m. Athletes in grade five will practice on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  Fifth graders have the option of practicing every day if they wish. Fifth graders are not required to participate in "away" meets; however, the coaching staff strongly suggests that fifth grade students participate in all CC meets.   The first day of practice will be posted on the home page.  All students, including fifth graders, should report to the first practice. Students should meet their coaches in the gym on the first day. Students are encouraged to purchase a CC tee shirt.
