Cross Country is a long distance running sport where you run a 5k or roughly 3.2 miles for every meet. The objective is to get as good as a time as you possible can.
It may be a so called individual sport but they score as a team by adding the times of the top 5 runners for each school, however if you wish to compete in a run with less than 5 runners they aren't scored as a team at all.
Then they place the top 40 in each race individually, so it is still technically called an individual sport.
Many people do the sport because they cherish running and the competition and others do it to get in shape for other sports. There were a few people on the Spring Valley Cross Country team that decided to do it to get in shape for the upcoming wrestling season.
