The last time cross country was in the Olympics was in 1924 and before that it was in 1920 and 1912. Cross country at the high school and college is such a team sport. Even though each person races as an individual. The teams want to have the lowest team score. There are so many things that go on during cross country. Two different teams have combined to make sure another team does not win. Cross country will add more enjoyment for people to watch besides track and field. Do not get me wrong. Track and field are amazing to watch. Cross country is nothing like track and field. cross country is cross-country pulls ahead in difficulty and team bonding. Both are extremely important aspects of a successful running program, so while we all have our favorite season, I encourage you to try out them both.

With this petition I want the cross country to come back. You can have many different countries group up and make sure one of their athletes wins instead of someone else wins. I like watching racing that is honest pace instead of track races where sometimes they go hard or sometimes they go out slow then make it sit and kick race. Those are not that fun to watch.
