Wakefield Public Schools

Join us for another exciting year of Cross Country at the Galvin Middle School! Students will learn basic training principles, get a lot of exercise, and even be able to participate in a couple of meets during the month of October.  The season will end with the Wakefield Turkey Trot! 

Practices will take place from 2:30-3:30pm. Students should meet in the gym every Tuesday and Thursday at 2:30pm and will be dismissed at 3:30pm. Practices will include a warm-up, training session, and cool down. While practices always start and finish at the Galvin, we sometimes jog to the lake as a large group and train on the Lower Common or softball field. Students should come to practice with a water bottle and appropriate clothing. We do run in the rain. It is absolutely necessary that runners follow the rules for running in public places. Running away from the group is not allowed.  Not following the rules, will result in removal from the program.  Please see the discipline section of this program.  

MEET INFORMATION: We will also schedule one or two meets with other local towns with middle school cross country programs. These dates are TBA and may take the place of a scheduled practice day. Parents are responsible for their child’s transportation to and from meets. A separate flier will go home soon with XC meet dates and information.
