Cross Country

The DSHA cross country team strives to offer student-athletes the physical fitness and psychological confidence to excel in the sport, as well as develop strong character traits to meet challenges both on and off running trails. Most importantly, the cross country program supports and promotes DSHA’s mission and identity by educating the whole student-athlete in sportsmanship and leadership while developing a community that runs and prays together.

Distance running is a sport for ambitious, hard-working individuals who crave personal challenge. The philosophy of the DSHA cross country program emphasizes the following principles:

1. Commitment (both in and out of the season)
2. Improvement (both within a season and spanning an athlete’s career)
3. General Health and Fitness (nutrition, strength, flexibility, coordination, and aerobic and anaerobic training)
4. A Positive Team Atmosphere
