About the Rams XCT

These teams provide athletic training for over 120 athletes every year, from across the socio-economic spectrum 12 months a year. The Rams have won a combined 8x Conference Championships, 2x Regional Championships, and 7x Top 10 State Rankings since 2013 (not including individual athlete's All State & All American recognitions).
