Having all the feels tonight. Missing qualifying for state as a team by one points stings and is devastating. But proud of Luke, Faith, and Bailey for qualifying as individuals. Proud of everyone’s fight tonight.
Congratulations to Chloe Engelkes for being the first person in NSXC history to earn Academic All-State honors. One has to have a 3.8GPA or higher. 28 ACT or higher and finish in the top 30 @ Districts. Way to go Chloe. We are proud of you
It’s been a great season. This team has been the most fun & cohesive group of kids that I have been around from top to bottom! I love their team spirit & their willingness to put their teammates first. Many PRs were achieved in the last 3 weeks. Well done!
Welcome North Scott 2015 alum & St. Ambrose University 2020 alum Joshua Pestka to our NSXC coaching staff. We are excited to have you on board. Pestka holds the 3rd fastest 5k time in NS history (16:28). He was a college National Qualifier in cross country (8k: 25:55).
Congratulations to these XC athletes on committing to continue their running careers at the next level. Bailey-Western Illinois, Nik-Indian Hills and Kaitlyn-St Ambrose
Congrats to all involved tonight. The girls varsity brought home a 2nd place finish, Girls JV 2nd, boys JV 3rd and Varsity boys 4th. Also congrats to our all conference performers; 2nd team - Peyton Madison & 1st team Faith Nead, Bailey Boddicker, Luke Crawford and Logan Soedt
Great job at Wartburg today. Of the 12 boys who ran all of them set a season PR, 10 of them ran career PRs. 12 girls ran, 10 of them ran season PRS, 7 career PRS set. I'd say that is a pretty good day!
Varsity boys ran well at home today. Congrats to top 15

Tonight we say goodbye to our seniors. 6 of them experienced cross country for the first time this season. 3 of them have been out for 3 years and we have been blessed to have had 11 of this group for all 4 years. It's been a great ride. Good luck to you all
We ended practice today by writing our fears, worries, and anxieties on balloons. We went outside and symbolically released them. Nothing is holding us back now. See you at MAC tomorrow!!!
