Cross country is a long-distance running sport held over natural, outdoor terrain like grass, dirt, and hills. Races are typically between 5 and 10 kilometers, with individuals competing to complete the course in the fastest time. Unlike track, all runners start simultaneously, and team scores are calculated by combining the finishing positions of a team's top runners.Making the varsity team gives one the chance to become the team captain of their sport which shows how much they accel in their sport  and this stands out to top colleges.
