Welcome and Registration Link


Welcome to Scott County's Elementary Cross Country Team! We are excited that your child is interested in running with us! Cross Country is a challenging but rewarding sport. It is tough physically as well as mentally. We compete individually as well as a team. We foster good sportsmanship and teamwork. 

Our cross country team is open to runners kindergarten through 5th grade from any of the public schools in Scott County Kentucky. We usually practice three days a week for one hour after school. Most meets are held on Saturdays with a few meets during the week. It is encouraged that your runner attend as many practices and meets as possible. There is a correlation between training and success in meets. 

Although there is only one winner in a race, coaches focus on PR's (personal records.) Our coaches celebrate individual success and recognize individual effort.

We will do our best to find ways to motivate and encourage. If your runner is struggling, please let us know so we can find a solution. * If your runner decides t...
