Cross Country
Cate cross country is a program rooted in a deep history of distance running and success.
Both teams are perennial qualifiers for CIF competition and they compete in the Tri-Valley League, one of the best leagues in California and home to both state and national champion runners. The Mesa Course is one of the most well-known running loops in the area which includes the infamous Heartbreak Hill climb in the middle of the route.
Whether a beginner or a highly seasoned runner, the coaching staff works to inspire a life-long love of running, developing each individual into competitive distance runners who can appreciate and improve their own personal achievements.
