CYO Virtual Cross Country

Overview:

Blessed Sacrament Parish will be participating in a CYO virtual cross country  4-week season with other parishes in the Archdiocese of Washington (ADW).  The virtual meets begin Sunday September 20th and the last meet is October 11th. Each week the participant will independently  run 2 miles (1 mile for 8U) and record their time.  Using the honor system, the participant will submit their times to Mary Seidel at maryseidel@blessedsacramentdc.org. 

The submission of a participant’s running time begins Sunday, September 20 and runners can run and submit their times by  noon the following Monday, September 21.   The same would apply for the following 3 weeks of the season.

Each week, ADW will post the individual results, as well as parish team standings, for each age division. At the end of the season Blessed Sacrament will award a gold, silver and bronze medal to the top runners in each BS division. The winners will be determined by adding the participants running times up over the 4-week period. In order to win a medal, a participant must run in all four weeks.
