Cross Country (Kindergarten through 8th Grade)

St. Catharine’s cross country team competes in the fall and is open to all St. Catharine students and CCD/Prep students in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade. Any student who competes for a public school or other cross country team are not permitted to do both, however we do welcome students who participate in other sports (such as soccer, football, etc.). Cross country is an excellent way to stay conditioned from spring sports through winter sports. We begin practicing early August and our season runs through the end of October. Meets are primarily held on Sundays beginning in September, at 2:00 PM at various locations throughout Berks County, with the exception of our home meet which is held on a Saturday, at 10:00 AM. More information on practices times, dates, locations, and meet schedule will be given out prior to the start of each season. We have a ton of fun in cross country – there is no bench!

The divisions are as follows:

Division 1: K – 2nd 1/2 mile
Division 2: 3rd & 4th 1 Mile
Division 3: 5th & 6th 1.5 mile
Division 4: 7th & 8th 2 miles
