Our Vision

Provide outstanding training and opportunities for growth for athletes of all abilities. Commit to excellence in all we do. Develop athletes through the daily pursuit of excellence who compete at the highest level as a team and reflect positively on our school and community.

Our Mission

Grow mentally and physically via the discipline of competitive running into leaders with ATHLETIC CHARACTER and the self discipline, competitive fire and self belief to succeed greatly. Become CHAMPIONS by choosing to do difficult and uncomfortable things on a daily basis that most people are not willing to do.

Our Daily Challenge

Make the right choices every day that help us achieve our goals and grow as runners, leaders and teammates. Consistently do the harder right instead of the easier wrong.

You don't sign up for Cross Country because it will be easy. You sign up for it because it is hard. You don't want it to be easy. 

Don’t be Satisfied - “The second you think you are good, you will never be great.”

Endurance racing is painful. It's not for the soft. Athletes who better tolerate the discomfort that comes with competing have an advantage over those with lesser tolerance. Former 5000-meter American record holder Bob Kennedy said it well: “One thing about racing is that it hurts. You better accept that from the beginning or you’re not going anywhere.”

To become a successful endurance racer you must "become comfortable being uncomfortable." As Tour de France champion Greg Lemond said, "It doesn’t get easier, you just go faster." Faster runners don't feel less pain, they just tolerate it better.

Athletes can increase their tolerance of race pain through training. Research shows hard workouts that induce discomfort increase pain tolerance. 

Here’s the deal - once you develop a good work ethic, train consistently and learn how to push yourself it somehow isn’t that hard anymore. Somehow hard becomes “I've got this. This is what I do. This is who I am.” 

This belief will benefit you in all aspects of life, for the rest of your life.

You compete for everyone on the team, not with each other. Working as a team makes it easier, more enjoyable, to face and embrace discomfort. Team success buoys all.

Greatness isn't for the chosen few. Greatness is for the few who choose.

What will you choose?
