NCXC 2025 Recap
While the physical demands of cross-country are wearing, the mental side of the sport is a whole different monster that has to be tackled. Unlike sports such as football, volleyball, track, and basketball, every field in cross-country is uneven, and athletes never know what you’re going to encounter. The team battled the elements, physical discomfort, and shown incredible resolve and determination.
NCXC represents the “Dirty ” mentality down to a tee.
Down at its core, cross-country is a sport where the mind is the only thing one is competing against. In essence, it doesn’t matter what the other athletes are doing. Instead, our athletes have to strive for their personal best. Self-improvement is at the forefront of what this sport is about. But, even with all of the individuality in cross-country as a sport, our NCXC team was able to bond, just like a family, which makes the experience that much more special.

The success of of the 2023 NCXC season was a culmination of all the forces that have brought these athletes together: desire, commitment, focus, sacrifice, suffering, self-discipline, hard work, and responsibility. As a result course records were run by all athletes which is a direct reflection on their shared investment and effort towards success as an individuals and as a team.

NCXC 2022 Recap
This years athlete's showed what happens you believe in yourself. When you believe in yourself you can: do great things; be part of a team that is more like a family; and make a difference on a team. As a result, this team made history, with a record number of personal best and season breaking records.
This year's team, more than any other team I have coached, grasped that we had the potential to make a difference. So why run when you’re not number one?
It doesn’t matter how fast you are, because when you put your heart and soul into something, when you sacrifice day after day, month after month, year after year, you realize just how grand the world and the people that inhabit it are, how valuable life itself is. How could anyone be dissatisfied with that.

Northern Cass Cross Country (NCXC) 2021 Recap
Run as one. Work as a team. Finish as a family.” This is Northern Cass Cross Country moto. It is more than just a sport. It’s a family. When I assumed the role of head coach for the boys and girls cross country program my goal was and is to provide opportunities for the athletes to cultivate relationships at practice, on the course, and outside of training. I believe Sam Bosch wrote it best “These past few years have taught me so much about leadership, sportsmanship, dedication, confidence, generosity, hard work and mindset. Sometimes these were direct lessons but other time I learned by example.”
