Running for Pirates’ treasure

Lining the walls of Whitworth cross country Head Coach Dr. Toby Schwarz’s office used to be quite a bit of portraits from runners past and present, reminding him of his past success.

A majority of those pictures and memorabilia rest at home as the offices in the athletic department are in a transition of renovation and expansion. But one particular memento remains close to his desk.

Setting the pace: CCS Cross Country

With the reigning seven-time defending Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) team champions on the men’s side and two-time defending champs on the women’s side, the Sasquatch are continuing down the road to success so far in 2008. Through two meets, CCS has proven their worth in competitions against bigger schools.
