Girls Cross Country

Parents, Families, and Runners;

 

Welcome to the 2nd year of Joliet Central Girls Cross Country.   

 

  Mission Statement:

The mission of the Joliet Central Girls Cross Country Team is to provide an athletic program for female student-athletes interested in becoming competitive distance runners by developing the skills, attitudes, and knowledge needed to reach individual goals which will create a foundation for life-long fitness and to reach team goals through committed, active participation throughout the entire season.

 

 

 

 

 Team Philosophy:

In conjunction with the Joliet Township athletic philosophy, the Joliet Central Girls Cross Country team will develop and promote:

* the unique opportunity to participate in a sport that offers both individual and team challenges.

* training that is designed to prepare the student athlete not only for the physical requirements but the mental toughness to be successful.

 * individual goal setting that allows for personal achievement based on talent, commitment, and desire. 

 * knowledge of an appropriate training program, proper nutrition, suitable gear, and injury prevention-essential components of a successful life-long runner.

 * characteristics of a model student athlete including respect, integrity, sportsmanship, self-confidence, leadership, team loyalty, and Steelmen pride. 

We encourage all girls to join our team. Cross Country is a no cut sport and we offer a positive, fun environment that will provide all runners with memories to last a lifetime. 

 

We look forward to a great season,

Coaches
