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 2021 Cross season continued the program's history-making ways, as the girls team qualified to the KHSAA AA State Championships for the 10th year in a row! Even better, they wrapped up the season as a STATE TOP 10 TEAM! The girls were led by All-Conference, All-Region, and All-State runner Christiana Brittian, who followed teammate Anna Claire Carwile's commitment to Campbellsville University by signing with NCAA D1 Morehead State University. The boys' team, led by freshman Landon Sweazy, earned a 9th-place spot in the state's largest region..
          The 2021 Track & Field teams made history of their own this past season, qualifying a school-record 35 athletes to the state championships. This crushed the previous record of 31 set in 2016. We finished the season with 20 athletes in the state-top-20, 13 in the top 15, and 2 in the state-top-10. The team was led by two-time 2021 region champion Christiana Brittian and indoor state runner-up and 2021 Campbellsville University signee Dakota Brady. So far in 2022, the girls team remains undefeated in the regular season and senior Latavian Hamilton signed signed to continue his track career at Midway University, becoming NCXCTF's 35 athlete to accept a scholarship to compete at the postsecondary level.

2021 Senior Dakota Brady inks with Campbellsville University

Congratulations to team captain Dakota Brady, who has chosen to continue his stellar running career at Campbellsville University, making him the 32nd Cardinal to sign on an athletic scholarship out of the NCXCTF program. Dakota will be among a standout incoming freshman class that promises to make the Tigers a favorite to capture the Mid-South Conference next fall. His recent time trial at CU placed him a potential 5th on the very competitive CU squad.  At NC, Dakota holds the school record in 5K XC and both the indoor and outdoor 3K, and has been a perennial All-Conference, All-Region, and All-State runner, as well as being named to Foot Locker's All-South team. GOOD LUCK DAKOTA! WE'RE PROUD OF YOU.

COACH SAYS:
"Always drink an 8 ounce glass of water right when you get up in the morning.  You wake up in a dehydrated state.  Think about it--when else do you go for 8 or more hours with nothing to drink?  It'll probably taste nasty to you when you first start doing it, but you'll get used to it."

All too soon, the NCXC Class of 1993 will be celebrating their 30th 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 has completed his second generation of coaching.  Ouch.)
