Cross Country was one of the first high school sports to return to competition with a one month season that ran February 13, 2021 through March 9, 2021. Immediately following, the track team began their season by practicing for their first meet on April 17, 2021; and recently had league finals on May 28, 2021. Both teams were led by long-time coach George Green with assistant coaches John Downey and new CHS science teacher Andrea Hughes.Â
