Cross Country
RTCS Cross Country began in fall 2024 under Coach Jessica Johnson. The team welcomes runners from 1st grade through high school, and each age group races in its own events.
Running with endurance
"Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1). Like all RTCS athletics, cross country builds character alongside fitness. Runners learn perseverance, set personal goals, and cheer each other on to the finish line.
The season
The season runs from late August through October, with Saturday invitationals across western Pennsylvania. Recent meets include the Gateway Invitational at Boyce Park, the Youthtowne Course, and the Sharpsville XC Invite. In 2026, three RTCS runners competed at the National Christian School Athletic Association (NCSAA) Championship Meet.
New runners get ready with a practice "mock meet" before their first race. Practice times are on the school calendar.
