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 Track & Field season continued our historic success, with over 30 region medalists, 12 state qualifiers, 4 state medals, a top-five athlete for the 7th straight year, a state top-25 for the fourth season running, and the state track athlete of the year.  The 2017 Cross Country season was also a history-maker for the program, with both the boys and girls teams qualifying for the state 5K XC Championships for the fourth consecutive year.  The girls team finished in the state top 25 for the sixth year in a row, and the boys team captured an impressive #13 state finish, three straight seasons in the state's top-15 teams.

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."

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.)
