Welcome to NCXCTF.com, the online home of the Nelson County Cardinal Cross Country and Track & Field teams!
Nelson County High School, located in Bardstown KY, is a charter member of the Mid-Kentucky Athletic Conference and currently competes in Class AA Region 2 in both Cross County and Track & Field.
The 2018 Cross Country season was a history-maker for our program, as the girls team won both CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS and REGION CHAMPIONS. The girls finished in the STATE TOP-TEN for the first time since 1981 and had two ALL-CONFERENCE and ALL-REGION athletes, with two of our runners named to the Kentucky Freshmen All-Star team that finished NATIONAL RUNNER-UP. They've finished in the state top-25 for 7 YEARS RUNNING! The boys also had a great season, with two ALL-CONFERENCE and ALL-REGION ATHLETES and one ALL-STATE ATHLETE. The boys have finished in the state Sweet Sixteen for FOUR STRAIGHT SEASONS, and had two runners named to the state All-Star Team that competed at the Foot Locker NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!
The 2019 Track & Field season continued our historic success, with over 30 conference and region medalists and a school-record-tying 29 qualifiers to the KHSAA AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

WE WANT YOU ON NCXC!
Whether you are a returning runner or just someone who realizes that XC will get you in the best shape for your primary sport, WE WANT YOU ON OUR TEAM!
Yes, we run. It's the best, purest conditioning there is out there. But that's not all we do! STRENGTH TRAINING (including lifting), CORE AND AB WORK, even AGILITY TRAINING. We do it all! And participating in XC will get you in THE BEST SHAPE OF YOUR LIFE! You'll also MAKE NEW FRIENDS, EARN A VARSITY LETTER, and GET TOUGH! It's the things we find the hardest that are usually the best for us.
IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING ATHLETICS FROM NC SCHOOLS:
Before I review this important information, please allow me to remind you that we already have a summer training plan in place that you should be doing already. If you haven't started yet, BEGIN TODAY! Our summer training plan is detailed on the "Cross Country" page.
BUT I know many of you are looking forward to getting back together for training, so here's what we know so far:
1. June 8-14: face-to-face meetings can resume between coaches and athletes, but no no formal training yet. I will use this time to meet with Captains Dakota and Christiana and reconnect with many of you via remind and by phone.
2. ALL ATHLETES MUST HAVE A BRAND NEW ATHLETIC PHYSICAL IN ORDER TO RESUME TRAINING. Even if your current physical is still active, NC SCHOOLS HAS DETERMINED THAT DUE TO COVID-19 CONCERNS, EVERY ATHLETE MUST HAVE A BRAND NEW PHYSICAL IN ORDER TO RESUME TRAINING. You CANNOT ATTEND ANY SUMMER TRAININGS WITHOUT SUBMISSION OF A BRAND NEW PHYSICAL.
NCHS will be conducting athletic physicals in NC Fieldhouse on Tues June 9 and Wed June 10. If interested, please contact Coach Bradley to sign up for a 15-min block. Thurs June 11 may be available as well, as will times at TNHS.
You do NOT have to have your physical done at NC during these times. NCHS is just hosting times at a reduced cost (only $10!) and trying to meet the needs of its athletes. You can still go where you want when convenient for you, BUT YOU CANNOT ATTEND ANY SUMMER TRAINING FOR ANY SPORT UNTIL A BRAND NEW PHYSICAL HAS BEEN COMPLETED. Physical forms can be downloaded at https://khsaa.org/forms/ge04_english-complete0719.pdf and you will need to hand me a COMPLETED COPY on your first day back to any summer training. PLEASE KEEP A COPY OF YOUR COMPLETED PHYSICAL FOR YOURSELF AT HOME AS WELL.
3. June 15-28: face-to-face training can begin in groups of 10 athletes per coach. Coaches must check and record temperature of athletes attending. Each athlete should check own temp before coming and DO NOT COME if you have an elevated temp. ALL TRAINING MUST BE CONDUCTED OUTDOORS. ATHLETES SHOULD BRING OWN WATER. ATHLETES SHOULD NOT SHARE EQUIPMENT. ATHLETES SHOULD MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING. NO LOCKER ROOM FACILITIES WILL BE PROVIDED, AND ONLY ONE PERSON MAY USE RESTROOM AT A TIME, SANITIZING RESTROOM AFTER USE. Dates and times for these group trainings will be provided later via REMIND. SIGN UP FOR REMIND IF YOU HAVEN'T YET! (Directions lower on page under "INSTANT UPDATES.")
4. June 29-July 12: full team summer training can be held according to the above stipulations. Date and times TBA.
5. The district will detail how we can proceed beyond July 12 at a later date. I'll update this page as I get news.
Well, that's it. Again, remember WE WANT YOU OUT! If you are considering joining or are new to the sport, WELCOME! Check out the summer training plan and do what you can.
If you are an athlete from another sport, even another Fall sport, know that XC WILL BENEFIT YOU TREMENDOUSLY, and we would love to have you AND YOUR TEAMMATES join us! I will be glad to work around dual-sport schedules. Just show me you're committed to doing the work. IT WILL MAKE YOU BETTER AT WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO!
If you are a returning athlete, READ THE MESSAGE FROM ME AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TRAINING PLAN. I'm talking to YOU! THIS can be the season we want it to be, IF you are willing to put in the work NOW! Reach out to me via REMIND message if you need me, and expect to hear from me soon!

YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE THROWBACK ZONE...
Almost 5 years ago, the NCXC Class of 1993 will be celebrated their 20th reunion.
Can you believe that? And Coach Bradley had hair! Can you believe that? (2012's Track & Field MVP Trey W.'s dad Kyle C. is back row, third from right. That means Coach Bradley is in his second generation of coaching. Ouch.) |
