Providence Middle School Cross Country
In the fall of 2015, New England Distance was able to introduce seven Providence Public Middle Schools to the sport of cross country. Five New England Distance athletes served as the coaches and their program became a huge success since day one, with over 300 students joining the sport of cross country. Practice was held three days per week at Roger Williams Park, located in Providence. Each week, the coaches hosted meets where the students would compete against the other schools. Many of these athletes continued on to track in the spring. We are looking forward to another successful and fun season of cross country in Providence!
The 2016 Providence School District Cross Country season will begin on September 19th and will run through October 28th.
Practices will be hosted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The meet schedule will be posted when finalized.
