The Michigan Tech Cross Country teams are programs on the rise, and we welcome your generous support in their continued growth. Your contributions provide extra enhancements to our program in areas like purchasing extra cross-training equipment, recovery promotion equipment, locker room improvements, extra team apparel, and expanded support for our strength and conditioning program.
Last year, we had six athletes earn all-conference and two athletes earn all-region honors. In the classroom, we received USTFCCCA All-Academic team awards for both Men’s and Women’s Cross Country, with an average team GPA continuing to be among the highest at Michigan Tech.
This year, we look to build upon that season and hope to qualify both teams for the national meet. We expect our men will be ranked in the top 30 through most of this coming season. Our women will come in as underdogs but we feel we have the athletes to surprise with how competitive we are.
Our largest improvement need is for dedicated team treadmills to be able to train in inclement weather. Due to the unique snow load in the Copper Country, it can be a challenge to run the roads in our winters. A bank of treadmills would allow us to train as a team in even the snowiest winter. In addition, we’re looking to set one treadmill up with a load reducing apparatus so it can be used to rehab from injury.
Your gift to Michigan Tech Cross Country will support our continued success. Our student-athletes can be among the best in the nation, and your gift will support them as individuals and the overall future of program success. Thank you!
