Though it’s been a challenging year in many ways outside of our control, we always had choices we COULD make. As a team, Lancer XC focused on choosing these things given what this year has looked like:

To be aware of the things we often take for granted - practices, races (good and bad ones), meals together, conversations that matter, opportunities to serve and support others, and the many in-between moments of being together in community. 

To be hopeful for the things to come - all of the above with fresh resolve, renewed faith, and an abounding Grace that knows no end (1st Timothy 1:12-17) — In our relationships, in pursuing social justice, in public health and how we care for those around us, there is hope that the best is truly yet to come.

To be grateful for the things that matter most: In our sport, our competitors in the Crossroads League for an awesome season of safe competition together. And for our families, their enduring support, our friends, and our Lord & Savior who is faithful through it all.

On behalf of our team and our coaching staff, Lancer XC would like to thank so many involved behind the scenes: parents, alumni, athletic trainers, support staff on campus, and fellow members of the Grace College Community for walking alongside us this year - in-person here in Winona Lake or from afar. We can’t wait until we’re able to race again. Cheers to the New Year!
