Cross Country – Boys – Upper School

A proud and long-standing program, Cross Country includes Middle and Upper School athletes, consistently contending as a top-20 program and producing eight high school championships since 1982. Most recently, the Upper School girls finished state runner-up in 2022. Since 2015, Middle School runners have competed in 3K races across the state that have included multiple top-10 finishes, a state-runner up finish in 2023, and a Munnerlyn Campus home race each fall overlooking Eagle Lake and the St. Johns River.
