Thank you for your interest in joining the River Hill Cross Country (RHXC) team. If you are new to the sport of Cross Country, we run 3 to 3.1 mile (5 km) races on mostly grass courses throughout the State. Our team welcomes those new to running and those who have been running. Running allows everyone to be successful both individually and as a team.

2026 Tryouts / 1st Official Practice

The 1st official practice with the coaches is August 12th. All paperwork must be submitted before you are allowed to officially tryout/practice with the team on August 11th. There will be a 1.5-mile (6 laps) time trial for runners on the track. It will be held during the first day of practice (Aug 12) and a make-up trial will be held 12 days later (Aug 24, first day of school) for athletes who didn’t make the time during the first time trial, or were not available. All athletes will be required to meet time requirements below. This time trial will also be used to help determine the Varsity lineup for our first meet.

Tryout Running Requirement:
  • New Runners (any grade) – Complete 2 miles without stopping or walking.
  • Returning Boys – 1.5 miles in 11:30 mins or less (7:40 min/pace)
  • Returning Girls – 1.5 miles in 12:45 mins or less (8:30 min/pace)

Final cuts, if needed, although rare, will be made after the second time trial.

If you have any questions, please email Coach Hazzard (girls) or Coach Boothe (boys). Please also feel free to forward this information to anyone interested in running for RHXC.
