Cross Country Running

Single Track Mountain Trails + Healthy Exercise

Competitive XC Running is now open to both Middle School AND High School student-athletes! Athletes in 5th – 8th grade will compete in the Tah-Neva League, while athletes in grades 9th -12th will compete in the CIF (California Interscholastic Federation).

This is as classic a fall sport as you will find in Tahoe and right here at TEA. Student-athletes will train on the MVEF Campus trails, as well as nearby trails on the 06 and in Martis Valley.
