Cross Country – Girls

The Pomfret Girls Cross Country program is competitive, inclusive, and welcoming to athletes of all backgrounds and skill levels. Competing annually in the NEPSTA Division III Conference, our runners have garnered several individual and team achievements, including All-New England honors. Each season, runners build base mileage over the summer and continue developing endurance, speed, strength, mobility, and pacing strategies throughout the fall. Weekly runs vary in distance and format, including trail runs, hill repeats, fartlek (speed play), and easy recovery days, with cross training and yoga incorporated to support wellness. The team operates like a close-knit family of passionate “sister runners” who train hard, have fun, and support each other unconditionally. A highlight in recent history came in 2018, when the team achieved a historic second-place finish at the NEPSTA Division III Championships.
