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 2015 Cross Country season was a history-maker for the program, with both the boys and girls teams qualifying for the state 5K XC Championships for the second time in two years. The girls team finished in the state top 20 for the fourth year in a row, and the boys team captured an impressive #12 state finish, the best in the program's history. The 2016 track & field season was also historic, with a school-record 30 qualifiers to the state championships, a 5 state medalists, a state runner-up (extending our run of state-top-5 finishers to a school-record 5 season in a row), and a return to the state's top-20 teams.

NCXC NEWS: FALL BREAK EDITION
Our 2016 competitions are already halfway done, and the improvement shown by our athletes has been remarkable! This should be shaping up to be a very exciting rest of season! We have some tremendous goals, and our athletes are starting to realize the work it’s going to take to achieve them. So far, so good!
Here is some very important news about our October events:
Jack Mitchell Invitational: all varsity/HS runners will compete at Larue Co on Thurs, Sept 29. Bus leaves at 4:10. Girls run about 5:45, boys run at 6:30. Back about 9.
Greater Louisville Classic: Modified boys’ varsity team of Austin, Steven, Nathan, Ethan R, Ethan H, Austin H, and Jaried B will compete on Sat, Oct 1. Carpool leaves NCHS at 9:30 so we can watch our collegians race. Then we will have a short break and race at 1:15. Hopefully back by 4:30.
Fall break practices: we will practice over fall break. We WILL be running off-campus on occasion, but we’ll meet at NCHS at 9AM daily. If you are in town, we want you there. Let us know if you need a ride. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE TRAIN OVER FALL BREAK, WHETHER YOU ARE IN TOWN OR NOT! You need to get a minimum of 5 different runs in for the week. If you can’t make practice, here is a schedule with suggested distances: a fartlek 4, an easy 6, a speedwork 10X400, a tempo 4, and an easy 3 + 6X100M strideouts. This is a minimum. Fall break is a great chance for some extra easy runs!
TNHS Invitational: I need all available runners to come Sat Oct 8 to this race! I have entered MS girls (10:00), MS boys (10:45), HS girls (11:30), and HS boys (12:15), so there is something for everyone! MSers meet at our red tent at TNHS at 9:30, HSers at 10:20.
Bluegrass Bolt: this is our meet out at Hillbilly Heaven. I NEED YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO PITCH IN AND WORK! We will run HS races on Tues 10/11, so I need HS parents to work on that night. We run MS races on Thurs 10/13, so I need MS parents to work on that night. Workers meet at Hillbilly Heaven at 4:30. This is a PR course, so we should expect to see some great times come out of this race!
THE ROAD TRIP: our varsity teams will be traveling for a district-approved overnight trip to race the Medical Center 10K in Bowling Green. Boys qualifying for the trip are: Austin M, Chris S, Steven P, Jackson B, Nathan F, Dakota B, Ethan R, Matt M, Mario G, Ethan H, Austin H, and Jaried B. Girls qualifying for the trip are: Kelsey H, Lizabeth R, Christiana B, Haley J, Al B, Leandra H, Mandy Q, Erin O, and Becca R. This IS considered one of our races, and I AM charting results! To qualify, runners needed to earn their spot and have turned in Run-A-Thon money of at least $90 to cover trip costs (the race registration alone is worth $65, so it’s still a great deal!). Get the $ in! Talk to me if funds are an issue.
We will be leaving school (hopefully by bus) at 4:00 on Friday, Oct 14, traveling to the Fairfield Inn in Bowling Green, checking in, going to the Runner’s Expo and spaghetti supper, bowling, swimming, sleeping, light breakfast, running the race, going out to lunch, then heading over to the region course for practice. As a result, it is very important for every varsity runner (even alternates) to make this trip!
We have 1 adult chaperon and three athletes to each double room. Since we have to visit the region course afterwards, we will be gone the entire day on Oct 15 and won’t be back until evening. The road trip is every runner’s highlight of the regular season, and offers us a great peak to our training prior to our taper to region. Call me if you have any questions.
