ELM ATHLETICS UPDATE: The Leyden-Norwood Athletic Conference has postponed all of its 2020-21 sports/activities until further notice. Click here to read LNAC's official statement. However, Scholastic Bowl is being played virtually (February-March 2021).
The Elm Middle School girls cross country program features a single team that incorporates 7th and 8th graders. Practice begins in August, followed by a season that lasts from early September to early October.
The season culminates in a title meet that determines the champion of the Leyden-Norwood Athletic Conference (LNAC). In 2018, the Cougars won the conference championship. They finished as runners-up in both 2017 and 2016.
Students must submit a completed pre-participation physical exam form and a signed concussion information sheet if they want to play a fall sport.
Ms. Meg Walsh is head coach, and Mr. Matthew Rivera is assistant coach.
