USA National Cross Country Championship
2008 USA Cross Country Championships nomination form
Every year Wings selects teams of junior runners (ages 14-19) from all over the country for a fully sponsored trip to the USA Winter National Junior Cross Country Championships. The qualifier for the USA World Cross Country Team, the championships are held in February of each year. Wings runners have captured sixteen national junior team titles since 1988, an unprecedented accomplishment in this country. Wings showcases the talents and positive achievements of American Indian youth at this event, and provides them with a cross-cultural experience. This program brings Native youth together from across the nation and offers them intercultural and cross-cultural exchange. Many of the participants continue to stay in touch with each other and form lasting friendships.
The next USA Cross Country Championships will be held February 16, 2008 in San Diego, California. Applications are due December 21, 2007 and can be downloaded here.
