Girls Cross Country

Welcome to the home of Celtic runners!

“Building a tradition one mile at a time.”

For anyone who constantly asks themselves the question: “Why do I run?” and no matter how many times they are asked, cannot find the right answer [or any answer for that matter]. We don’t know why. We just do it.

Though many cross-country runners claim to be unsure as to why they run cross-country, most agree that there is an addicting factor to it.  “Everyone loves it but they have no idea why. I guess it’s just one of the more satisfying sports when it goes well. When you work really hard and it pays off, it really feels good, even if you might not be able to walk up the stairs for a few weeks.”

We’re bringing XC back!

You know you’re a XC runner if …

1. You roll your eyes when people say, “You run three miles…at once?”

2. You come up with weird answers to questions like “Why do you run so much?”

3. All your socks or worn or torn.

4. You run through puddles instead of around them.

5. You wear skimpier clothes than Madonna.

6. You know what sweat tastes like.

7. You hate when people say track and XC are the same thing.

8. You take the gym class 1 mile easy and still beat everyone by a lot.

9. You have some cool looking tan lines.

10. Your calves are bigger than your biceps.

11.  You need to pee every 15 minutes because…

12.  You drink more water in a day than most people drink in a week.

13.  Your team is like family.
