About Piner Cross Country

Welcome to the Piner High School Cross Country web site!

We have created this site for several reasons. The first is to keep our current team connected and informed. This is a place where teammates and parents can find our schedule, see what current activities we have planned, learn about alumni runners, see community links and much more.

Second, we want to keep the legacy of Piner Cross Country alive and growing. We want to promote Cross Country at Piner as well as in our community.

Third, to stay connected with former Piner Cross Country runners. Where are they now, what are they doing, how did Cross Country change their lives?

As the current head cross country coach along with my assistant coach and wife, Melanie, we are in our second Cross Country season at Piner. Our main goal for the althletes is to improve as individuals and as well as a team each and every year. Last year our first practice was August 20th. This first day of practice was the first day most of our team had ever run. We had a balance of $0 in our team account and no uniforms to speak of. Thankfully, we were able to borrow the old track uniforms for the season. This year, the 2008 season has already shown progress. A number of our athletes have logged in many miles over the summer. We have doubled the size of our team from last year. We have nearly $700 in our team account and have ordered our team uniforms. One of this year's scheduled fundraisers is Monday September 8th at Mary's Pizza on Marlow Road. We hope you will visit our fundraising and donations page for more information and other ways of helping our team.

We hope you find this web site helpful. Please feel free to give us feedback so that we can continue to make this site a useful tool for you and the community.

Looking forward to an exciting season. Go Piner!

Sincerely,
Luis Rosales
