Cross Country

Hillel Academy’s Cross Country program offers students an opportunity to challenge themselves, build resilience, and experience the joy of running as part of a supportive team. Open to students from kindergarten through high school, the program welcomes all levels—from first-time runners to seasoned athletes.

Our teams train and compete across grade levels, with opportunities for younger students to develop a love for the sport and for middle and high school athletes to test their skills in local invitational and sectional meets. Hillel runners regularly participate in competitions at regional parks and courses, gaining valuable experience while representing our school with pride.

Beyond competition, the program emphasizes growth, teamwork, and community. Students celebrate personal milestones, support one another at races, and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with being part of a spirited team. Whether earning medals, improving race times, or simply crossing the finish line with a smile, every runner’s effort is recognized and celebrated.

Cross Country at Hillel is more than a sport—it’s a tradition of building character, perseverance, and school pride, one stride at a time.
