Cross Country Running
Single Track Mountain Trails + Healthy Exercise
Competitive XC Running is 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 at XC centers, off the 06 and in Martis Valley.
