Peddie Cross Country team victory lap at Blair Academy

Cross Country

Teamwork every step of the way

Peddie cross country emphasizes the value of every race and practice. The goal is improving throughout the season, running our best on Peddie-Blair Day and in our championship races. Our team is home to all kinds of runners, from those new to the sport to experienced competitors who plan to run at the college level. The skills Head Coaches Grant Edwards and Jesse Facey instill in the team transcend sports, including discipline, consistency, accountability and the desire to improve.

It’s an individual sport, but you’ve got people around you who are helping and supporting you. All of that crosses over to life.”
