The toughest and best sport of all. Takes extreme amounts of dedication and skill to be good at. Besides being a physical sport, cross country is also mental and the top runners must be able to push even when they are tired. People on the team run no matter what, even if there is rain, sleet, snow, ect. Some people make fun of cross country runners and claim it isn't a sport, but they are just jealous that they are out of shape and can't run more than 1/4th of a mile. And no, we are not gay just because we wear short shorts.

A great sport that requires both mental and physical strength.... but you have to be careful or you can screw up your body, especially if you're a girl.... it requires hours of training and is an awesome sport.
I just got home from xc, and my shin splints are killing me,give me some ice,the remote, and some food... man if cross country girls got injured less, they'd be called football players*falls onto couch and sits there for hours*

a sport in which one must have real skills... running around 7 miles a day (average) x-country chicks look freaking hot in their running shorts! woot woot!

The most difficult sport. Cross country requires both skill and a work ethic. People who don't like cross country are just mad because they can't do it.

The best sport in the world! It's a lot of hard work, but it's also a ton of fun! Running is so much fun, but so hard at the same time! It get's you in amazing shape (if you actually work hard in practice and eat well) and makes you feel good! Cross-country teams are always super nice. They're like a second family.
That group of people love to run and look like they're having a good time! They must be in cross-country!

the best SPORT out there. it takes a certain type of person to run cross country and to enjoy it. Distance runners love running and are superior to everyone else. runner girls are the best looking and thats just one of the many positive points of cross country.

A sport of endurance. this translates to: a sport where people run themselves into the ground for the sole pursuit of bettering themselves as athletes. Cross country running truly is the purest sport in the world, it consists of two or more (usually much more) individuals racing against each other and themselves, my physical ability against yours. The kind of pain cross country runners go through is indescribable, but it is the most intense pain I have ever experienced. Cross country runners often wear short shorts, this is because wearing longer shorts will mess up their strides and slow them down. While this has attracted ridicule from many non-runners, this is not a problem for runners that are not insecure and do not question their sexuality.
