Cross Country

Welcome to the Collierville Middle School Cross Country Page!  The primary goal of the CMS XC team is to provide students the opportunity to develop their running ability in a fun, but directed environment where both the individual and team accomplishments are important and recognized. 

2018 Was Another Big Year for CMS XC!!

Lead by Team Captains Noah Flaskamp, Beckham Clements, Clayton Maxwell, Mackenzie Toussaint, Eva Kneipp, and Cami Cordell, the CMS Cross Country team just wrapped up its most successful season to date. Throughout the regular season MYA meets at Shelby Farms, the Girls’ team consistently placed 4th, and the Boy’s team consistently placed 2nd.  Both teams had several top 20 finishers (out of 200 - 350 runners) every meet.
