ABOUT US
The NHSTFXCCA began many years ago as the National Senate of High School Track Coaches. After creating the initial Constitution at the Wisconsin clinic around 2000 with tremendous guidance and foresight from coaches such as Spencer Sielschott (New Mexico), Jack Sands (Texas), Wayne Clark (Ohio), Mark Hoffman (Wisconsin), an organized body of coaches was founded with the goal of connecting all state track & field and cross country coaches associations with each other to assist with clinics, potential clinicians, and having a seat at the table with national governing bodies such as the NFHS, USATF and USTFCCCA regarding rules and awards. These pioneering coaches and many others representing Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia and numerous other states helped lead the way into where we are today.
In 2024 during the association business meeting/election at the USTFCCCA Convention in Denver, two vice president positions were added to the executive positions to assist–Vice President of Cross Country (Bryon Graun of Wisconsin) and Vice President of Track & Field (Paul Baur of Florida) were elected.
The NHSTFXCCA began quarterly meetings in March of 2024 open to anyone wishing to participate by video conference. In order to be added to the agenda, requests will need to be submitted and approved by a designated date so that the meetings can be efficient and timely.
