Welcome to the Edison H.S. Track & Field / Cross Country Web Site

The Track / Cross Country Program here at Edison is geared towards the Student Athletes interested in self improvement. This sport is two dimensional, it has an individual component were athletes learn to push them selves to their limits, and a team component were athletes learn to work as a group and see the benefits of everyone working towards a common goal.

Who should Join the team?

Anyone is eligible to join the team. You do not need previous experience in the sport to participate. The coaching staff is prepared to teach the basics or to improve on previous experience. We are looking for student athletes that are willing to commit 100% to the sport, in the classroom, practice and on the track.

What do you need?

Before a student athlete can practice and compete for the team you need to have the following:
• A current VHSL Physical (Students will need a new physical every school year)
• An Emergency Care Card (one must be turned in to the head coach of the sport you are going out for)
• Be in good academic standing
• Have time to fully commit to the program
• Good pair of RUNNING shoes
• Practice clothes (come prepared for the weather, we will practice outside 99.9% of the time)

Advantages to Participating in this Sport:

• Student Athlete will elevate their level of Fitness and Performance

• Cross Country / Track & Field are good for in between season training or for general conditioning before a season

• Student Athletes will compete against a diverse group of athletes from the County, Region, and the State
