Tryouts

Tryouts will be held at 7 AM on the Monday before school begins. The tryouts will be a 3-mile run. There will be time cutoffs for new athletes.

There will be no makeup tryouts AFTER the tryout date. Please contact the coaches about setting up a possible tryout opportunity BEFORE the tryout date if you absolutely cannot make the tryout date.

We highly recommend Signing Up for our Summer Running Club to train with us throughout the summer and to get in shape and prepare for the tryouts.

While the tryout times can be tough, most athletes that train with us during the Summer are able to hit the cutoff times by the tryout date. It is important to note that for the safety of all participants, we cannot allow individuals who are significantly behind the team's pace to participate. Therefore, we strongly encourage everyone to train with us during the summer to ensure they are prepared for the tryouts. Even if you have no running experience, you can make the team if you work hard with us over the Summer!

Joining the cross country team is an incredible opportunity to challenge yourself, build endurance, and be part of a supportive and dedicated community. Whether you are a seasoned runner or new to the sport, we welcome you to come and give it your best shot during our tryouts!

Lace up your running shoes, train hard, and get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey with the Mira Costa High School Cross Country team!
