Can I try out for cross country?

Question

I have a problem with my visa(staying in america). I go to school in the US. I am in Europe and will not be able to start school at the right time. I will be able to start middle school in the end of September. Do you think I will be able to try out for xc? Also do you think I'll have to be held back or go to summer school for starting school late? I was best in class at my old school....

Answer 1

They will most likely make an exception for you getting into Cross country. Most programs want anyone they can get.

And, as long as you're trying, they wont hold you back. I'm sure there will be no problem with being held back.

However, you will miss about half of the XC season.
