The sport that defines all other sports.

The only pure sport, the winner is the one who takes the most pain. We dont play with balls, we have balls. The balls that separates XC from any other sport.

Cross country involves racing distances of 3 miles or more. It is essentially pure, distilled badassery. Often called faggots, bitches, and fruit cups by football players, cross country runners dont care because they know that there arent any grabass love piles involved in their sport. These kids are generally thought of as being insane by other members of the population because they seem to take pleasure in agony, a level of enjoyment that is only surpassed by that of inside jokes and other people's agony. Cross country kids are rarely tough guy solemn types, more often giving in to the immature urge to mock anything and everyone.

The greatest and most pure sport ever created. Cross Country is usually thought of as insane and people cannot wrap their minds around why we runners do it. The sport is also overshadowed by Football, which is also played in the Fall. It requires dedication, and unthinkable amounts of physical and mental strength. Pain is a normal part of an XC runners life, and sacrifice become second nature to them. If one puts their all into the sport, it can be the most gratifying experience ever lived through. The comradery gained from powering through the cold, rain, mud, dust, heat and whatever nature can throw at you tempers the bond between teamates and friends. XC runners are usually good people, exemplary students, and quite social as well. If you try in XC, it is impossible to lose. You run until you die, then you get up and keep going. I know all of this from experience, and I watched some of the most dedicated runners ever born reap the benefits of their blood, sweat,and tears. Cross Country is truly one of the greatest sports ever created.

the ultimate endurance sport. Its a 3.1 mile sprint across the worst trails possible. It takes brains to decide when to speed up, or hold back, also to execute a race plan. it takes the ultimate mental strength to continue. Do not knock on cross country until you have run the 3.1 miles in under 19 minutes.

A sport usually overshadowed by football. One of the most hardest and grueling sports. Yes Cross Country is a sport, just because it doesnt involve a ball doesnt mean its a sport. You have to be physically fit and be able to have the mentality to run like a crazy mofo to participate. I tried football my freshman year and switched to cross country. trust me or any other person who has done cross country and football, cross country is more demanding and harder.
