Most elementary schools (k-4) do not have a specific "team" but more a running club per se. They run distances based on their individual capabilities and ages. Mostly, they run 1 mile or 2, if they are really good. It is very rare that you can see a specific talent in children that young, because they haven't built up their stamina yet. There are also running clubs for young children not affiliated with the schools. These are much more disciplined and they run much more. I have even see some of them compete in high school cross country meets. It was kinda scary to be honest.
My best friend and I met in seventh grade at cross country and we have been going out for the past two years!

Sure. There are even a few high school cross country runners (beginners) with your time or slower, so you're doing great for an 11-year-old. Just keep running between now and cross country! If you want to run cross country in seventh or eighth grade, you'll probably do fine with a 29:43 5K, but if you want to be competitive maybe improve your time to 20-23 minutes if you're a boy and 22-25 minutes if you're a girl. If you plan on running XC is high school, I highly recommend getting your time down to at least 25 minutes so you won't be last place in races. If you want to be competitive: 18-21 minutes if you're a boy, and 20-24 minutes if you're a girl. Good luck!

Before dropping out of school in 11th grade, Axl was well-rounded in extra-curricular activities. He ran cross-country, taught Sunday school, and sang at church.

Cross Country is alot of work......I am in 9th grade, and this is my 1st year.At the beginning of the season, I was 137 lbs. now, after 7 days of practice and 1 meet.....i weigh 118, so I would say it does, but....it's alot of work.....and you HAVE to work to lose the weight, but most people go out thinking it's gonna be an easy sport, and that it's all fun and games....so watch what your limit of running is. I was already in fit, because i go out for track and feild every year, and practice all the time.....
The fastest 6th-grade cross-country time can vary depending on the individual, the course, and the competition. However, a competitive time for a 6th grader could be around 5-6 minutes per mile for a 1-mile race.
6th grade=100-105 7th grade= 110-115 8th grade= 120-130
