Cross Country Team
|
Our Bottenfield Cross Country Team consists of 5th grade students. This team was formed to promote a healthy lifestyle, provide an opportunity to meet new friends, and allow for students push each other to do their best. Each practice includes a social lesson, and a whole lot of running! The team practices twice a week and is working towards two different 5K races (Huckstadt Hustle and IL 5K).
At the beginning of every practice we do several drills that help us to warm up, stretch, and strengthen our bodies before we run. Soon, our team will be running in the neighborhood. Students will get used to running 2-3 miles in the neighborhood in preparation for our Bottenfield 5K (Huckstadt Hustle). |
