Captain's Practices
Preparing for the 2025 cross country season has begun. Practices organized and conducted by our captain's are taking place Monday through Friday at John Marshall. These practices are open to beginners and experienced runners wanting to build an aerobic base for the first day of practice in August. This is a great way to prepare for the season and get to know our captain's and teammates.
There is no need to register, simply show up and be prepared to have fun. If you have questions about captain's practice or about our team in general, please feel free to contact head coach Mike Sonnabend.

Dates: June 16 - August 8
Days: Monday - Friday
Time: 8:00 am - 10:00 am

Pasta Feed Sign-up
Traditionally, pasta feeds serve as a great way to gather as a team and socialize the day before a meet. Each event is held at the home of a team member, but can also be held at the school. Each pasta feed has one host and one or more helpers. If you are interested in volunteering to host or help with a pasta feed, please
