Lincoln Youth Cross Country Program
We are an introductory running program for all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade boys and girls in the Lincoln High School cluster. Our season runs from early September to early November. We train two to three days a week (dependent on meet schedule). Meets are generally on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the Portland area. We compete against other PIL (Portland Interscholastic League) cluster programs which include: Cleveland, Franklin, Grant, Jefferson, Madison, Roosevelt, and Wilson.
Practices
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (until meets begin) on the West Sylvan Middle School Track from 4:00pm to 5:30pm.
Meets
Meets will typically be on Thursdays at 5:00pm. School buses are scheduled to take the team to every meet. The buses leave from West Sylvan by 4:00pm. We have bus transportation back to school after the meets.
Most meets have both 2k and 3k races. Some races are coed and some are gender specific. The last meet of the season is the Middle School District Meet. There will be two 3k championship races - girls and boys. The top ten girls/boys from each PIL team will compete in the championship races. The rest of the PIL athletes will run in a coed 3k race.
Team Fee
$200 (or $60 for students who receive free and reduced lunch)
Parent Volunteers
Volunteers are NEEDED throughout the season. If you are available to assist with some practices (including off - campus runs) and with a meet that we will host, please email Coach Julie at [email protected] and please complete this Volunteer Information for the PIL www.pps.net/domain/66
