Try-Outs
Cross Country at DeSales is a no-cut sport, which means, if you come to practice and give your best effort, you race. Cross Country season lasts from August to the first week of November. Last year's squad consisted of 12 runners, three of which were freshmen. The team will be ranked in the top 20 in the class AA preseason rankings for 2007 and expectations are high. The Cross Country team will go on road trips to such places as: Cincinnati, Somerset, Georgetown and Lexington. We also have an overnight trip to Somerset and Lexington on the schedule.

If you have any questions or are interested in running for DeSales, contact Coach Paul Wise at 361-4116 and he will try to answer any questions that you might have. He will also get you the necessary permission forms or you can also call the Athletic Office at 368-6519 for the forms. You can also e-mail Coach Wise at yocoach84@aol.com.
