Recently, the MIA cross country team has been practicing frequently, preparing for districts on November 8th, 2025. The team meets every day at mackle park from 3:45 to 4:45 pm. Although they practice every day, their workouts vary. Some days they focus on speed, other days they focus on long distance, and some days are circuit based workouts. Ansley, a junior runner on the team, said they are now starting to, “reduce mileage and focus on speed work.”
All 8 runners on the team run an average of 5 miles a day which helps them with stamina and endurance.
The team has a total of 3 meets left at 8 am, which occur on Saturdays. After that, they go to districts. Previous meets have been at ave maria, north port, cape coral, ft myers, mackle, and other places.
Overall, the MIA cross country team has had a smooth and successful season. Good luck at districts, Rays!
