Probably normal: Some people are more slim than others. If you eat well of a good, well balanced diet, then you should be fine. Cross country athletes consume a tremendous amount of calories. Be thankful you can eat a lot and not gain weight. It won't always be this easy. If you can run cross country without difficulty, you are healthy.
