Expectations for Christopher Newport University Track & Field/Cross Country are -- and should be -- extremely high. The level of success we have had in the past, the first-rate facilities and support, and the top-notch academic and student-life opportunities we enjoy provide a platform for the highest level of achievement.
Our objective as a program is to be the premier Division III program -- one to which all collegiate programs aspire. We will do this by creating a Championship Atmosphere and Culture that leads to a great holistic experience for each team member. This includes support for and emphasis on success in the classroom and model citizenship along with significant improvements in performance and consistency in competition. In other words, we should always be working to find out HOW GOOD CAN WE BE?
It is more important to live our lives like Champions than to count or dream of Championships.
If we train like Champions, prepare like Champions, live like Champions, then everyone will have the chance to maximize their development in our program and we will be prepared to compete at the highest levels individually and as a team. In other words, we will find out HOW GOOD WE CAN BE!
