Athletics

Cross Country is a great way to get in or stay in shape to start the year. Cross country is open for kindergarten through eighth grade, and is our only sport open to nine grade levels. Meets are held at Woodland Park, with most practices held at Lincoln Park. Cross country race distances range from .3 miles for kindergarten to 1.5 miles for eighth grade students.

Please note that only 4th-8th grade students practice with all Meets open to Kindergarten-8th grade students. 

Westside added soccer in the fall of 2017. We often combine grade level teams for soccer, starting in either third or fourth grade. Soccer practices start before the school year with matches running from early September through the end of October.
