Boyce Athletics Launching Men's and Women's Cross Country Fall 2022
It is with great joy that we are able to announce the launching of Men's and Women's Cross Country teams. The teams will begin competting in a limited schedule this Fall 2022 and with the plan to have a full schedule for Fall 2023. The addition of Men's and Women's Cross Country will be the school's fourth athletic program and testifies to significant growth within Boyce College Athletics.
"The fielding of a cross-country program represents the next move for Boyce athletics," said Dustin Bruce, Boyce College Dean. "With the growth of the sport among traditional high schools, smaller Christian school, and home school co-ops, cross-country is a natural fit for our constituency. Our current student athletes make a significant contribution to our student experience and campus culture, and I look forward to welcoming a new team into the Boyce athletics program."
The past year witnessed major success for Boyce Athletics as the basketball team achieved a Top Ten ranking in the NCCAA Division II, and the Boyce men's soccer team made history by winning the school's first Regional Championship. Adding the Cross Country team is the next step in furthering Boyce's success in the classroom and on the field.
Coach Michael McCarty, Director of Athletics at Boyce College, is excited for the new athletic offering that Boyce students will use to spread the gospel. "Boyce Athletics is thankful to the trustees, Dr. Mohler, and Dr. Bruce for allowing us to add the Men's and Women's Cross Country teams this fall," said McCarty. "The Cross Country teams will give our students another exciting way to participate in intercollegiate sports while at Boyce College. The Cross Country teams will continue our mission of using Boyce Athletics as a platform for ministry and the advancement of the kingdom of Christ in the lives of the student-athletes and those we meet while running. I am excited to see all the Boyce runners out competing this fall."
