School Cross country team?

Question

I'm in 8th grade and I'm planning to try out for the cross country team. I'm a girl (if that matters) and I want to know if a 5.5 minute mile is good enough for a middle school team and what can I do to improve?

Answer 1

Yeah, you'll definitely be fine. Just relax though 5.5 is good enough to get you maybe high school cross-country. Stay in shape and don't overdo it, because it sounds like your already in awesome shape. Stretch and know your limits and when you need to push yourself.
