Welcome to the XCTF club, an official student-run sport club at UC Davis. We welcome runners and fielders of all abilities, from beginners and social joggers to highly competitive athletes. We hold practice and attend racing events all school year, including out-of-town and out-of state meets, as well as community races. Though originally a cross country-focused club, our team now also has squads training for all types of events in track and field, marathons, ultra-marathons, trail races, and more. It's never "too late" join the club--you can join at any time in the school year to run with us. Both undergraduate and graduate students are in the club, and there are no "try-outs!" All are welcome to come out and join a close-knit team and community! We will resume normal, in-person practices and competitions on September 22nd, the first day of fall quarter!

Coach Nathan and TA Clancy hosted a training primer for the team last week, and the recording has been uploaded to our YouTube channel. They go over training principles for XC and T/F athletes, principles which form the structure of our training plan, and include tips and strategies for how to make the most of training during COVID.

Coach Nathan Kwan competes at US Olympic Trials
|
Coach and founder Nathan Kwan ran in the U.S. Olympic marathon trails on Saturday in Atlanta, GA. Averaging 5:25/mi, he placed 71st out of 175, meaning our own local legend is one of the fastest men in the country! The race was broadcast live on TV, the internet, and mobile via NBC.
Nathan was also featured on Good Day Sacramento in two segments, the Davis Enterprise, and Capital Public Radio for his qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials using a half marathon standard from the San Jose Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon. |
