Welcome Back!

Welcome back athletes, parents, and fans!  What a year for Norton last year!  The Norton Lancer boys spring track team took home their first ever Tri-Valley League title.  Congrats to those boys!  That was a lot of hard work for many years to get to that point.  Where does it start though? With the cross country team in the fall setting the stage for the distance team that runs year round into winter track and then spring.

The Norton cross country team has already had its share of challenges in the pre-season with no locker rooms.  With the high school renovation going on, they girls and boys have to get creative with their training.  Also, the team was forced to come up with a new course this year that will now start behind the high school and will be a hybrid of the last two courses Norton has had. Attached is the new course that will be 2.59 miles in length. (Thank you to the captains and artist Eric Sanford for their help with the course).

Both teams are eager to start the regular season and we all are very excited for another great season.  Keep checking back to the site after meets for updates scores.  Thanks to everyone who is a part of Norton cross country and track and field for all of your support!
