With all the glory going to God, our Cross Country Team has enjoyed many successes. Our girls teams have won the Regional Championships 6 times since 2001. They have qualified for the State Finals in Peoria for the past 5 years! We have even placed as high as 6th in the state and 2nd in our Sectional.
In the past 15 years, our boys team have gone from 16th in their Sectional to 6th! This year we plan, Lord willing, to take both teams to the State Finals. We have produced 4 all-state runners: Sarina Oleson, Anna Morgan, Ann Schuette (4th place finish), and Bekah Brunner. We have also had over 20 all-conference runners!
Our main goal as a team is promoting running from a Christ-like perspective. We are constantly trying to become more like Jesus through daily team devotions and prayers.
Coach Copple is in her 22nd year of coaching Cross Country here at ACS. She is a runner herself, qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon and the Wisconsin Ironman in 2009. Her motto through the years has always been "He who honors God, God will honor."
