How does Cougar Cross Country compete with the best teams in the state year after year? It's simple: People like you join our program. That's it. We have the highest winning percentage of any athletic program in school history. We are defending league, section, and state champions. Our achievement is unparalleled.
And we want YOU to be a part of this success.
Each year dozens of newcomers join our ranks. Many are embarking on the 1st competitive athletic experience of their lives. Why is it that so many students choose to take on such a challenging sport?
SATISFACTION: It feels good. Challenging limits, overcoming obstacles, provide the most intense human experience. These achievements offer new perspectives, increase self awareness, and raise our spirits.
FRIENDSHIP: Shared struggle is the basis for our strongest relationships. It's no wonder our team feels like a family. You will share experiences that foster meaningful and lasting friendships. There is a powerful sense of camaraderie and respect between cross country athletes.
GLORY: Winning is fun. In addition, our sport provides each athlete the unique opportunity for individual accomplishment. There is no bench. Every athlete participates in each competition. Conquering a course or achieving a personal best is a victory for every runner.

November 29, 2025 Clark Leads Boys to 3rd State Title with School-Record Finish; Lechner's Huge Leap Helps Girls Extend Top-10 Streak
With overcast skies and temperatures in the 40s, it was a historic day on the Woodward Park 5k course at the California state cross country championships. Jaw-dropping performances were turned in by top individuals and teams in almost every division on Saturday, including in the 2nd race of the day, which featured a stellar sub-15 minute effort from Clark Gregory (27), who battled with the lead pack of 5 down the homestretch. The junior's 4th-place finish in 14:57 shaves 4 seconds off the previous school record set by back-to-back individual state champion Aidan Goltra in 2013.
November 22, 2025 Boys Navigate Muddy Hayward Course to Top NCS; Girls Fall again to Northgate
While conditions where nothing like the impossible circumstances of the previous year, where one could hardly call it running, but rather mud ballet, the Hayward High School trails were far from ideal as rain over the preceding week made for sloppy footing across most of the grass areas that make up the majority of the 3.0 mile NCS Championship course.
November 8, 2025 Varsity Girls Defeat Northgate to Earn 12th Consecutive League Championship

November 3, 2025 It's Official: Boys Win Hoka National Title
Just announced by Hoka, the Campo boys are winners of the 2025 2-Mile Postal National Championships with their 5-man team time of 46:41, which out performed runner-up Plainview South of Illinois by 25 seconds. The feat earns the entire team a truckload of Hoka gear, including new running shoes for every athlete.
The Hoka national title is the 2nd in program history for the Cougars, who previously won it in 2022 when the girls' squad posted impressive marks at that year's edition of the Mid-Season Mania event.
October 29, 2025 Boys Remain Perfect; Girls Narrow Gap on Northgate at Final League Center Meet
With several of the top athletes on the boys' side running "down" in the non-varsity races, the Cougars enjoyed wide margins of victory at the final league center meet of 2025.
Rafael Van Delft (29) kicked things off with the fastest time ever run by a Campolindo freshman on the 2-mile course to lead the frosh soph boys to a commanding victory. The ever-improving Jonah Char (28) assumed the 7th scoring position for the squad, finishing in 9th place. Only the Las Lomas 1st and 2nd scorers managed to break up what otherwise would have been a perfect score over the entire league.
