As a cc coach, I found that even though athletes work hard at the sport, it isn't till the second year that they begin to shine! I think it takes a season to get the idea of what cc is all about and how to integrate the training tips the coach gives you

You'll have a great time...don't worry about those that have been on the team longer. the best runner on my HS XC team joined during our sophomore season. Go out there & do your best. You'll get stronger and faster with more running...and you'll probably make some friends for life in the process! Have a great time. The link below has some beginner running plans & tips to help you out. Good luck!

It all depends on the type of person and how much training you do before the season starts. I have been running for about 4 years, and a kid joined the team, never running before. He ran all summer long with us and got 21st at the State meet for Michigan D1.
I have run for nearly 4 years longer than him, yet he still smoked me. It all depends on how much you put into it and what you have to work with.

Really, Cross-Country takes physical fitness as well as determination. You can be just as good ( with the right work effort ) as someone who has run the track 10,000,000 before. I started my sophomore year and made it to states and finished 4th my first year...
Just work hard.

Experience may not help as much as being fit... also, determination is more important than anything else. You may not be the fittest person on the course but you can still win if you keep pushing yourself. Your body can do a lot more than you think it can!

Yea evryone has a risk and all of us begin at exceptional occasions. I did the identical factor you probably did final 12 months and I received jv. I used to be identical to you. I simply needed to train plenty more difficult and exhibit extra willpower

as my XC coach always said "running is 90% mental". If you THINK you can beat those other runners, you will.
Experience isnt as important as determination, drive, and training. I've seen first year runners who could blow away the field, and Seniors who couldnt keep up.
