Assumption Cross Country
You've arrived at the Assumption Cross Country team website. Assumption's first Cross Country team competed in 1981 and, in their inaugural year, the team won the Regional Championship. Since that time, the team had a State Runner-up team finish in 2006, and won a State Championship in 2007. This site is not only a source of current season team information, but is also dedicated toward highlighting the accomplishments of the many Assumption Cross Country athletes who have competed since 1981.
The 2008 Cross Country Season has begun!
The roster is set at about 110 girls this year as we approach our first meets of the season.
There are about 40 girls competing in the
first race of the year, the Tiger Run, on Saturday, August 30. The following Tuesday and Wednesday,
the rest of our girls will compete in either a 2 mile JV race at Atherton HS (Sept 2) or a 3000 meter Frosh-Soph
race at River Road Country Club (Sept 3). Details on these races are listed under
meet entries.
Please come out and support our team!
Depending on your training group, our general practice routine is to meet on Monday through Thursday
at Seneca Park after school (we're usually done between 4:30 and 5:00pm) and on weekends.
Saturday practice is either at Iroquois Park or Seneca Park at 9:30am unless we have a meet
and Sunday practice is at 5:00pm at EP Tom Sawyer unless we're out of town.
Any questions about participating in Cross Country should
be directed to Coach Barry Haworth.

Meet Information
We host a number of meets each season. Here are links to information on some of the Cross Country Events/Meets we regularly host:
St Francis High School, Our Sister Team
Assumption Cross Country has a sister team relationship with the St Francis High School Cross Country team, a top Division III girls program in (Sacramento) California. We visited St Francis during the Fall 2007 season and competed in the Granite Bay Invitational. Our current plan is for each team to visit the other every 3-4 years. Here are links to the St Francis Cross Country Team website and St Francis High School website.
