About Us

Nease Cross Country has a history of success and, more importantly, a successful future. Both the girls and boys teams have a strong tradition of qualifying for and placing at the state meet, including several top 10 finishes. Cross Country is a rugged, demanding, and mentally challenging TEAM sport where athletes race over three miles across grass fields, hills, golf courses, parks, and other tough terrain. Runners compete for both time and place—it’s not easy! Our program provides a unique experience outside the classroom where student-athletes learn how to push themselves, set and achieve goals, and understand both failure and success. We emphasize teamwork, friendship, time management, responsibility, and strong character. Nease Cross Country strives to maximize academic achievement, athletic performance, personal growth, and enjoyment of the sport.
