Welcome to the 2025 Cascade Cross-Country Team!

Where we hope you will find your passion for running! Cross Country is a non-cut sport and we welcome all levels of athletes. We, as a staff, are looking forward to another season. Please email Coach Landro if you have any questions. Slandro@everettsd.org 

There will be no organized summer practices. The exception will be offerings to meet at Everett Memorial Stadium from 10am-noon on Wednesdays through July 31st to work with Coach Bertrand at the stadium. 

The official start of practices is on August 25th. I hope you're out there running and getting ready for a great season. We have included the first 2 weeks of a practice schedule. We will update as we go. There will be an activity bus to take students home after practice at 4:30 Monday to Thursday on school days. 

We are still working on the fall schedule. It will be posted in June.

The program is open to any student in grades 9-12 that would like to run for whatever reason. (Fun, Friends, or Fitness!)

Attention Parents/Guardians/Athletes -

We will be using the Parent Square app to communicate this season.

Reminder - You need 7 practices in order to be eligible to compete! This is a new lower requirement than we have had in the past. 

Find someone in our school who you feel would be a nice addition to our team, or someone who you feel would benefit from being around exceptional people like yourselves! We work hard but we have lots of fun as a group and team. We will have a meet this year over in Leavenworth, Washington! We used to go to this meet every year but haven't in recent years It will ge a great day and meet for us. 

We will be continuing with our athlete of the meet. After each race, we will pick an Athlete of the Meet.  The criteria for consideration are the "4 A's of Excellence - Attendance, Attitude, Academics & Athletic Performance".  The coaches will pick the Athlete of the Meet following each race.  Recipients will receive a certificate at our end-of-the-season Awards Banquet.

One of the fun things we do is have a Saturday fun day of running. Your families are invited to join in the run, and we follow it with a breakfast potluck.

As head coach, I am very excited about what this season will bring. We have some great returning athletes and some new ones that have shown great promise in Middle School. If you have any questions about the schedule or practices, please feel free to contact me. Even though I am the head coach, we do have the same staff as last year. Just a change in title. We are all excited to start on Tuesday, August 26th.
