Cross Country

Fall Sports Update- Due to the uncertainty of what the school year will look like for the fall, that it was best to not offer any DPL sports during that time.  Our student-athletes need to be back in the classroom and remain healthy so by not playing sports, we hope to cut down on their exposure to the virus.

The DPL offers Cross Country meets for grades 5 through 8 during the month of October. Teams are formed with boys and girls and divided by junior varsity and varsity with grades 5/6 and 7/8. This is a great sport for the fall and a good way to prepare for basketball in the winter. For additional information, please contact Coach Mathison at ritalan10@gmail.com.
