A sport in which extremly fit people with a hell of alot of metal strenght run until they faint. After a race, throwing up is common, leading to the saying, "If you don't throw up, you didn't try hard enough." Cross country runners are often mocked for having enough balls to wear short shorts, but cross country runners usually don't mind because they go to practice everyday and talk it up with girls.

The best and most difficult sport ever. It involves running thru grass, mud, and dirt for miles. You have to be really athletic to be good at it.
When I got my varsity letter in cross country freshman year, my freinds told me it didn't count because I didn't letter in a "real" sport. WHATEVER.

A sport requiring hard work and endurance as well as alot of time. It is the most exciting sport possibly of them all because of the terrain you take on which varies from track to track. It rapes Hockey,Baseball,Bowling,And parts of Football to a tee and makes you a better person after you run it.
Dude: Man i went and ran cross country and it made me feel great, right after i almost fell on my knees because my legs hurt so much.
Me:Ha, Dude look at my State rings, one for Cross Country, Basketball, Indoor State Track...

A sport that most other sports look down on. Of course, they don't have the balls to try it out for themselves, and if they do, they go home crying after the first week. (see Ultimate Football)

The most confusing sport in the whole world. You run four miles thinking you are going to die and hate every second of it, then as soon as you finish and catch your breath you think, 'Damn that was fun! Can't wait till next week's race!'

Best sport ever, probably the only sport worth participating in because the players and coaches aren't redneck douche bags.
Also gives you a lot of stamina. XC guy + XC girl = hot sex

I like running because I can do it on my own terms and at my own pace. Much better than having some fat 50 year-old redneck son-of-a-bitch football coach yelling at me to go long or pass the ball.

The greatest sport ever created. EVER. Usually bashed by other sports like football and tennis. This is why we steal their tennis balls and run past them like beasts with great leg muscles. Cross Country runners can be identified by their hard work, determination and the massive amounts of food they consume while gaining only solid muscles. They can take a spike to the back of the leg and keep running with blood pouring out of their leg. They can fall in mud and swallow dirt and get straight back up and continue onto an amazing PR. We run until we can't go another step and then we kick into overdrive and sprint the rest of a race or workout and have a smile on our sweat soaked faces when we're done. We love each other and our coaches and don't bother with what the rest of the school thinks. We quietly sneak off to a race, districts and state and skip school to be awesome. Because that's how we roll! Others refer to us as "those crazy runners" but we refer to ourselves as "those sexy beasts" since it's far more accurate. Cross Country requires a work ethic that no other sport can ever match.
Things Cross Country runners say:
"Running won't kill you, you'll pass out first."
"It hurts up to a point, and then it can't hurt any worse."
"We're not here to be last, we came to win."
