Cross Country | FallRegistration for the 2025-2026 James River Eagles Boys & Girls Cross Country Teams opens July 1, 2025
Building on the success and potential of our young runners from last year, we are excited about the possibilities as we prepare for our 11th season of cross country! In keeping with that excitement, we are introducing Coach Jen Flack to the James River Eagles XC Program. After several years of top notch service to the James River Eagles and the home school community, we are sad to report that Coach Jeffrey Greene has decided not to return this year. We are delighted to report that our new coach for cross country this year ran collegiately at the University of Virginia and is excited to keep our program "running"! Most of our meets are large invitational meets and are run on Saturday mornings. The great thing about cross country is that there is no limit to how many can be on a team and every runner participates fully in every race! The Cross Country season "runs" from September through October. Practices begin in August and online registration will be open July 1st! Runners do not need prior experience, but it is helpful. There are no "tryouts". We strive to help further each runner’s development as an athlete representing Christ each season. Registration prices for the 2025-2026 season remains at $125 for each participant. Our 10% sibling discount will be applied for multiple participants within one family and installment payments are available. If you have any questions, contact our Athletic Director Coach Rich Mills at [email protected] XC Registration will open July 1, 2025! |
Track | SpringRegistration for the 2025-2026 James River Eagles Boys & Girls Spring Track Team is open!
After 11 seasons of cross country, we are extremely excited to announce James River Eagles Spring Track for grades 7 - 12! Coach Jen Flack, who we introduced last fall as our Cross Country coach, is excited to expand our Running Program to include Track. Coach Jen says, "Her aim is a "get the feet wet" type season by reserving activities to Saturdays. In the future, depending on numbers and involvement, we can develop the track program more." Coach Jen ran collegiately at the University of Virginia and is excited to keep our program "running"! Track clinics will focus on speed drills, running form, baton handling-offs, and endurance. We will also have fun team-building activities and education on track etiquette. Track differs from cross country in that athletes run different events spanning from the 100 meters to a 2-mile race. Whatever the distance, every athlete must come ready to run! No spikes are necessary for meets, just good running shoes. May the Lord give his strength and peace as we run for him. We strive to help further each runner’s development as an athlete representing Christ each season. Track clinics will be on the following Saturdays from 11:15am-12:45pm at James River High School:
Track Meets will be on the following Saturdays. Details about timing, location, and events for each athlete will be given after registration and rostering on the team.
Registration prices for the 2025-2026 spring track season will be $125 for each participant. Our 10% sibling discount will be applied for multiple participants within one family and installment payments are available. Uniform tops will be provided and runners will need to provide black/dark blue shorts and good running shoes. Feel free to reach out to Coach Jen at [email protected] with any questions.
