I coach a team that uses a "silent huddle". The kids quietly say encouraging things to each other- some say nothing at all, are just there to support their team mates.
Someone once commented how this was "wrong", the purpose of the huddle was to make noise. I replied that the purpose of the race was to win, which we did, by about 50 points in a 10 team invite.
I JUST WANT BANG BANG BANG
huge inside joke...but it worked...we went undefeated in duel meets, won leagues, and sections, and then placed third at states...not bad
we have a pretty enthusiastic pre-race ritual. everyone on our guys team(80 guys) kneels in a big circle and says the our father, then the biggest senior on our team (6'3 and 200) gets up and takes off his jersey and screams "oogaboogabooga!" and then we scream and he does two more times and then everyone jumps up and down yelling. its pretty intimidating because of the size of our team and the individual who does it... may seem a little cheesy but its been going on at our school for the past 10 years.....
our rival school is the hornets and they're varsity ran down the starting line making buzzing sounds for a while.

Take a dynamic song and change the words e.g. Dont stop me now
Don't stop us now, we’re going for a good time
Run through the wall, don't stop us now.
If you wanna have a great race then give it your all
Don't stop us now
Don't stop us now
We’re not gonna stop at all
and make sure they buy Queen's Greatest from Amazon.
now this is the law of the jungle as old and as true as the sky
and the wolf that keeps it may prosper but the wolf that shall break it must die
as the creeper that girdles the tree trunk the law runneth forward and back for the strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack
if everyone says the whole thing at a slight crescendo it really pumps you up...only draw back is it can mess with your arousal curve the first couple times you say it though
I usually enjoy beating teams that have obnoxious pre-race chants. No chant is the way to go.
Agreed
I knew Milton would get on here and say some crap about thier chant. That thing is so stupid. But to each their own.
Back when I was a junior in high school, We were all lined up at our region meet and a school called "Edgewater High School" starts in on their chant by something like...."edge-water-water, you know we bout it, bout it..." and so on, well as they were in the middle of this, the starter walks out to the field, and BANG! The race goes off in the middle of their retarded chant. Everyone was laughing for the first half mile, and one of the kids on the Edgewater team almost got in a fight (fist) with the guy that ended up winning the race, because he was giving him so much shit about the pre-race chant.
I'll fight you, bitch.
use it or lose it...energy in the race cuz youu wll never get it back or i think thats what it stand for
The best Pre-Race Chant without a doubt was done by Vanguard University (Cal) where one member (Matt Meyers) yells "Ahhh Savanyah Babba Hi Simoowu" and then the entire team runs in a circle dancing and spinning singing the opening song to the Lion King.
It gets everyones attention and lightens the mood a little bit, putting the race into context a little bit I think.
Rice had one of the more ridiculous, funny, and offensive chants at XC nationals in 1999.
haha thats sweet
Weird looking 30-odd year old ex-marine with very long hair: "What makes the grass grow!"
Us: Blood, blood, blodd!!!
Weird dude: "What do we do for a living ladies!!!"
Us: "Kill, Kill, Kill!!!"
