Boys Varsity & JV Cross Country
With close to 50 runners and four coaches, the Loomis Chaffee boys cross country program welcomes veteran runners and rookies alike. Workouts find us in two groups on opposite sides of grassy running fields, in the pool for water drills, and in clusters of five and six taking on our choice of routes along the Connecticut River and into the river valley farmlands. All workouts find us celebrating a team spirit intensified by the camaraderie of the flocks of Pelican harriers.
Competing in tri-meets on Saturdays, the boys cross country team thrives on well-placed hard, medium, and easy workouts and even full recovery days between races. Among season highlights are the full-team participation event at the NMH Invitational, our dual meet with Trinity-Pawling, and the Founders League Championships.
Each season boasts both returning varsity runners and junior varsity harriers who look to welcome newcomers to the program, from post-graduate to freshman, all eager to do the Pelicans proud.
