Program Overview
The Loomis girls cross country team trains hard, races hard, runs fast — and has fun in the process. LCXC is a perennially competitive program in the Founders League and New England Prep School Division I (large-school division). Building on the program's trademarks of camaraderie and gutsy running, the team features both seasoned veterans and promising newer runners who show the same determination and dedication as their more experienced teammates.
The varsity and JV squads are part of one girls team, allowing every girl interested in running the opportunity for coaching and racing to the best of her ability. The program is individually based so that younger athletes as well as runners with more experience are allowed to build strength at appropriate levels, and most of the team’s training is done on grass and trails.
