Newton, nearing the end of a 40 year career as York's only cross country coach, has been accorded countless honors, including being named as an assistant to the 1988 Olympic team. Newton looks for individuals who are not neccesarily talented, but are willing to sacrifice and work hard in order to improve themselves. Many of his runners have been students who never competed in sports, or "weren't good enough" to play other sports.
York cross country, however, is not only about running success. The young men who leave the program upon graduation have taken with them the ideals of hard work, honor, team commitment and respect... qualities that are important throughout the rest of their lives.
This site will be updated periodically with results, news, stories, and information about York cross country, including the starting date of the 1999 season and a preview of the team.
