Cross Country – Girls – Upper School

The Cross Country Program includes athletes from sixth through twelfth grades on the Munnerlyn Campus. Over the years the teams have established themselves as consistent contenders in the top 20 in the state, including five state championships since 2000. The Knight Sports Campus includes a newly cleared cross country trail, with convenient parking, locker rooms, bathrooms, and concessions. The Episcopal Middle School cross country team hosts an annual 3K on the Knight Campus.
