This Fall semester has not been a normal one, and athletics are no different. Like the other Varsity Sports at Christendom, the Cross Country has gone above and beyond in the face of the various Covid challenges to practice, workout, and safely run and compete again other small colleges and area runners. The XC teams’ manager, Joe Ellefson, shared this: “Although this season proved uniquely difficult in terms of sporting events, Cross Country was lucky enough to still maintain somewhat of a semblance of normality. We were blessed to have been given the opportunity to race in a few community races up in Winchester, Virginia. Even though it wasn't a regular season, we are thankful to be able to compete and are excited to continue moving forward with the sport.”
