The Hanover High School Cross Country team is a perennial powerhouse in New Hampshire. Coached by Jim Eakin, over 60 runners comprise the girls and boys team. Although the team is large, it is one of the most close knit group of athletes in the school. The team trains together, races together, cheers together and even shares pre-race meals together.
The girl’s team is one of the best in New England. During the 2005 season, the girls were the Class I NH State Champs and ran away with the NH Meet of Champs team title as well. The boys’ team placed 3rd in the 2005 NH Class I State Championships and are looking at another top three finish this season.
