Names for Some Less Common Sports

Hi there, everyone!

My question is how would one refer to the sports of "indoor track and field" and "cross country (running)" in Spanish. I am trying to learn the names of some sports and it's hard for me to find dictionary entries for these two (possibly because they're made up of more than one word). Thanks in advance!!

Cross country (running) is carrera a campo traviesa, carrera de cross or even just cross.

Track is deportes de pista. (en pista cubierta for indoors, I think)

Cross country (skiing) is esquí a campo traviesa or esquiar de fondo.
