The running community in Missoula is both passionate and deep in numbers, which makes sense. We get to live in one of the best places in the country to enjoy the sport. With that in mind, I’m excited to announce the creation of the Griz Cross Country Club.

Since I started coaching cross country at the University of Montana, it has been my goal to further develop the program into one of the best in not only the Big Sky Conference but also the nation.

As so many have discovered, Missoula is an ideal location for distance runners to train and progress into high-level athletes. With that working in our favor, I am confident our student-athletes can achieve success in the sport while they do the same thing in the classroom.

We hope the Griz Cross Country Club is the next step that will help us reach the lofty goals we intend to chase.

By joining, you will help further fund our program as we pursue success in the increasingly competitive arena of Division I athletics. Your gift will be used to cover financial demands that are outside of our program’s operating budget, in particular team travel and our preseason camp.

In order to provide our student-athletes with the competitive base they’ll need to challenge for conference, regional and national success, we need the means to travel to major competitions. It’s the only way we can gain the experience of racing head-to-head against high-level programs.

Thank you and Go Griz!
