Supporting UVa-Wise Cross Country
Cross Country provides great value to the student-athletes on the team. Cross country runners are excellent students, hard-working, and disciplined. Through long hours of running on their own they develop self-discipline and independence. While racing with other runners undergoing the same training regimen produces a climate of mutual respect. As they grow in the sport they develop a love for an activity they can engage in their whole lives. The sport also influences other students in that they learn running is an activity within the reach of ordinary-sized people and requiring minimal equipment. Also success in the sport against other colleges promotes school pride. Our competing against other colleges raises our visibility outside the area, while providing a collegiate sport in which students can aspire to participate.

“Although cross country is not a big spectator sport, success by outstanding student-athletes creates a tremendous positive image for UVa-Wise academically and athletically. Therefore, your support will promote excellence in the classroom and in competition and is doubly valuable and deeply appreciated.” |
