Cross Country running is almost considered an extreme sport by some. It is a sport that consists of long distance running. Many people consider it to be for crazy people. Only a select few can do it..The average courses are about 3.2 miles of hills. Some courses are a little longer or shorter than others. This year we had a very successful year. The girls varsity team won T-CAL for the first time in 21 years. The girls team also qualified for CCS for the second year in a row. This year Kathleen Miller went to the state championships for the second year in a row. The varsity boys team had another strong year once again qualifyning for CCS for the third year in a row. Derek Pesta, the the team's number one boy runner had a great year as an individual by breaking his personal record at every meet. He looks to have a succesful college career after he graduates from Gilroy High.
