I never ran in high school and, quite frankly, never paid attention to those who did.
Now that I'm in my 20's and running, I'm enjoying track and field. I have some questions about high school track and cross country.
When does the cx and track seasons start and end?
How many meets do high schoolers do a week?
How many events does a typical hs runner do in a meet?
Thanks.
It's XC rather than CX.
For high school, cross country goes from late August or early September until November or December.
Indoor track is from December to March. Outdoor goes from February (in the South) until June.
Meets can be 1-2 times a week, often with a small meet during the week and a larger invitational on the weekend.
A typical high school runner will run 1-3 events. If they are good enough to win comfortably (which is often the case for standouts), they might opt to run multiple events.
Cross country season is September-November, with practices starting over the summer. Some states go to early December. I think Alaska's state meet is in early October.
Track & field is March-May or perhaps June. Some states, primarily in the northeast, also have indoor track & field, which would go from December-March. National HS Federation rules allow a kid to compete in four events in a meet.
