Does anyone know of any programs that run only the XC crew for their Track program? I will be talking to my AD about starting a Track program (D2) and only using the distance crew. The last conversation that we had, he was only wanting to do it if we did it the "Right Way." Which would be adding additional coaches and having a track on campus. Plus we are short on athletic trainers, and he wants to fix that before we add track. We have only had 1 trainer for 2 years now. We hired 2 last Aug and they quit within 2 weeks for higher paying jobs.
I know that UT Chattanooga and UNC Greensboro run primarily only distance runners (occasional sprinters).
What other school use primarily distance crews for track?
