First and foremost, this is a Faith based Cross Country and Track team based out of West Michigan (Holland/Zeeland).
The Mustangs cross country and track program seeks to consistently achieve excellence in running and in life for every athlete in the program.
Our Goal is that each athlete, regardless of natural ability, put in the work and the attention to detail on a daily basis to develop over time to achieve their fullest potential and find joy in running.
Our target for every athlete is to foster the feeling of self-satisfaction that comes as a direct result of achieving their potential.
We will accomplish this through steadfast support for the fundamental value of each team member within strict adherence to the team concept.
Through their participation, they will create a foundation for life-long fitness and positive character traits to meet challenges both inside and outside the athletic realm.
