About Catalina High School's Track and Cross Country Teams
Nine years ago, Catalina Track and Cross Country programs were posting losing records every season. Catalina teams were near or at the bottom of our region meet for many years. After a lot of hard work by dedicated students and coaches, the Track and Cross Country programs at Catalina are now among the best in the state.
Team goals are for both Girls and Boys to finish in the top two in both Track and Cross Country this coming season. They had a team GPA of 3.3 last Track season, and 3.5 last Cross Country season. They stress the following with all student athletes: 1. Performance in the classroom, 2. Dedication to the sport and the team concept, 3. Respect for oneself, one another, and one’s opponents, 4. Work hard but have fun.
