Live it. Love it. Run it.
Morton Junior High Cross Country season begins the first full week in August and lasts until Mid-October. Runners train to compete in 2-mile races throughout the season leading up to the IESA Sectional and State meets. The courses are mostly run across grassy fields, wooded paths, and have a mixture of hills. Practices are held at MJHS or Northwood Park, Monday-Friday.

Everyone Competes!All 7th and 8th graders run the same course in practice meets and invitationals. Although the fastest 7 boys and girls are considered the scoring team (Varsity), at every meet ALL athletes get to participate. Before/after racing, the athletes cheer on their teammates to show encouragement, support, and team spirit.
