XC

Our blog is about Westford Academy Cross Country. In this blog we will talk about our daily schedule in cross country. We will also talk about what we do during practice and during our meets. Also, we'll discuss the canister drive the team does every year and the New York trip we go on very year too. Another topic will be the meets and how they work. Finally, we will talk about attendance and how that affects being able to participate in fun events in cross country. These are the topics we will talk about in our blog that is below.

In cross country, we start practice at the track with two warm-up laps, followed by stretching and sets of pushups and crunches. After that, we do form drills on the turf. After this we begin our workouts where we divide into different groups based on our ability and run on different trails at different speeds. During meets, we run on the team that's closest to our ability. Most of the captains run varsity, but some run jv. Finally, during the meets, people like Will Alden and others are very encouraging to all the runners. This is what it's like to be a part of WA XC.
