This is Maryland Cross Country
Head coach Andrew Valmon understands the special blend of current success, optimism for the future and remarkable legacy that make the Maryland Cross Country program unique.
Coaches like Jim Kehoe and Tom Fields, alumni like All-American Rosalind (Taylor) Sheppard and recent Terp stars like Kristen Reed have all played a key part in the prominence of the Terrapin programs in College Park.
"We are proud of the legacy we have at Maryland, and those people have paved the way and laid the groundwork for the success we’re now having.
"This program is home to a dedicated group of young men and women who log hundreds of miles, and put in hours of hard work both at practice and on their own to develop their talents.
"Our student-athletes undergo a rigorous training plan designed to meet the individual needs of each person. All of this occurs in a team setting that is an important part of the development of our student-athletes as people.
"Academically, we have been tremendously successful in helping our student-athletes achieve their goals. We are proud to push our student-athletes to the top of their class academically so they can be successful leaders in life."
