Cross Country

The objective of our Blessed Sacrament athletic program is to provide the student with an atmosphere that encourages all athletes to reach their fullest potential, while being part of the team. ALL 5th - 8th grade students will have an opportunity to participate, with emphasis placed on teamwork, sportsmanship, physical fitness, and development of skills. The coaches will place emphasis on creating a positive environment, development of the student-athlete and the importance of working as a team. With these objectives and priorities, along with hard work and determination, winning should be the result of our actions versus a goal or measure of success.
