Shadow Days-Oct. 9 & 16
Cross Country
About the Program
Cross country is a fall sport that runs from August to October (possibly the first week of November). Practices are held after school, and athletes train four days a week. A typical practice consists of warm-up stretching, a long-distance run of about 3-5 miles, a core workout, and a final stretch routine. Meets are normally held on Fridays and Saturdays with 6-8 meets during the season. Meets are held at a variety of different locations within or close to a one-hour drive from ECS.

2025-2026
Our amazing Cross Country Team is setting the pace for an award-winning 2025-2026 athletic season. Not only did several runners set personal records this year, but six girls and nine boys qualified to become our very first student athletes to compete in the VISAA State Tournament in Earlysville. In the Division III Team Scoring Championship 5K, the boys took fifth place. Owen E. finished in sixth place overall with a time of 17:01.7. Our girls competed at the Division II level against a large field. While they managed to come on strong at the 2.8K split, they finished fifteenth overall. Kristie T. had the highest individual score of the ECS girls. Thanks to Coach Eungard, our amazing athletes, and our supportive parents and fans for a great season.
