Fall Cross Country
Two Teams, one Club:
Choose the right Team for you!
Warrior Team
For runners ages 9-14 who aspire to challenge themselves against tougher competition and are eager to do so on a team of like minded individuals.
Returning BMWS and those new to the Club, are welcome!
The Warrior Team is a good choice for you if:
- You dig the challenges of being “comfortably uncomfortable” in training and racing and and want to increase your capacity to do so.

Warrior teammates:
- Show up and give their best to themselves, teammates and coaches.
- Understand that attitude and effort affect their performance and the quality of connection to their team.
Warriors and their parents understand:
- We are on a continuum of development as a person and athlete, no matter what the level of competition;
- Results are "grist for the mill" of life, not a character indictment;
- The level of performance we attain does NOT define who we are: our Warrior attitude, effort and positive contribution to the team, do!
Being a member of USATF is required for all Warrior Team members. Info: https://www.usatf.org/programs/youth
