Athletics at Mountain Sage currently consist of 6th-8th Grade Cross Country in the fall. Our team participates in meets around Fort Collins and surrounding areas. Practice takes place at Mountain Sage after school. We are growing our athletics programs, so check back for updates!

All athletic programs require the submission of a completed and signed MSCS Athletic Participation Packet for each student athlete. To receive the packet, please join the appropriate athletic team group in Parent Square and look for the post with the Athletic Participation Packet attached.

Middle School Cross Country

MSCS Cross Country is an opportunity for middle schoolers to learn and strengthen their physical skills, experience the connectedness of being on a team, and the thrill of representing the MSCS Dragons at cross country meets with fellow middle school athletes across the Poudre School District.

Absolutely no experience is needed to join our team. Just an open mind and heart and a decent pair of shoes. The goal of our team will be to have fun and build a solid foundation of technique and teamwork to support a lifetime of running.
