Interested in Boys Cross Country?

Any boys interested in cross country for this fall, contact Coach Oberly at moberly@richland2.org. Cross country is a great sport where athletes learn about distance running and are a part of a great team. Cross country is a no cut sport and everyone gets to participate. Athletes must have an athletic physical to begin practicing and it must be uploaded to PlanetHS. The first official practice of the 2021 season will be Tuesday August 3rd, 7:15am-8:45am, at Sesqui State Park. If you have any questions please contact Coach Oberly at moberly@richland2.org.
