Most xc teams are just a little weirder than average students at high schools. At least at my school. Do you guys have really crazy teams or have really wierd stories as a result?

We got on the roofs of our downtown's business district and ran around for a while. Jumped a few alleys. Ran like hell when we saw a cop car but no one got seen and I don't think the cops were ever called. Definitely broke some laws though.
We "broke in" to a cave underneath one of our school's parking lots that's impossible to see unless you're going that way on purpose. Dead animals everywhere, probably black mold, and a dead possum (for real dead not playing dead)
We ran a chocolate milk mile at midnight in the dead of winter. It was like roughly 0 degrees F outside.
We make our freshman wrestle in the shower
At XC camp every summer, the newbie dudes have to put icy hot on their balls for 5 minutes.
The girls have it better- they just have to jump in the lake at midnight (about 50 degrees Fahrenheit)

What, no group poop to avoid disruptions "down the road" and for team unity?

Some of our guys just do that just to do it. IDK, XC guys are weird
Whenever we run by girls one of us says "good morning" and then someone says "you're really pretty". If the girl responds we start jumping around and high-fiving each other. Its a great way to kill time on long runs.
when we were far out on country roads one of us said to start running naked then all of us were running down the road butt naked

My team would start chanting "Girl, girl, girl" whenever we ran past girls. WE would start quiet and then slowly increase in volume as we got closer to them. Our coach shut it down when he heard about it. Really fun while it lasted though.

Yeah we showed up and won. Crazy, isn't it?
hot pink running shorts
you definitely have to be at least a little weird to enjoy running long distances, something most people innately hate.
We sing Bohemian Rhapsody during our longruns.

One day we started singing folk songs at the top of our lungs while on an easy run. Great fun until we got chewed out by our hardass coach for not being professional.
One time in hs there were 4 of us running and we sang ice ice baby alternating between us one word at a time.took about 10 minutes. 5/10 would do again
One time at our preseason invite we were told to run it as a tempo, so we were able to talk throughout, so we rapped Straight Outta Compton.
team made matching singlets that said seXC 7 and each one of us chose our spirit animal to have on the front of the singlet
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
