CARMEL HIGH SCHOOL’S CROSS COUNTRY JUGGERNAUT WINS TWO MORE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS Welch captured individual honors with a time of 17:53 on the five kilometer course, while two other seniors, Gina Genco and Rachael Wessner, finished 34 and 51.

“And we have a whole lot more waiting in the wings,” warned Ellington.

“There’s no doubt we will have the talent and commitment [for a fifth straight state title].” As will probably Bell’s boys’ team which came in with a 14-point victory over runner-up Columbus North in the state finals. “We have a good foundation,” assessed Bell, who must replace seniors Bobby Browning (seventh in the state), Ben Anderson (13th), Daniel Schuga (29th), Josh Horowitz (32nd) and Michael George (55th). “We have three sophomores who are as good as anyone in the state, and we have a fantastic group of freshmen.”

Writer / Ray Compton Photographer / Bill McAdow of ChampionsIllustrated.com In most Indiana communities, cross country falls into the “minor” sports classification at the local high school. Now that’s not a mean-spirited label; it’s just that the sport of cross country does not easily slide into the definitions we have placed on being called a “major” sport. Those characteristics are mostly saved for football and basketball.

But before closing the book on 2013, both the boys and girls teams qualified for the Nike Cross Nationals this month in Portland, Oregon.

The event serves as the unofficial national high school cross country championship. Seven runners and the coach of each team will be flown to Portland by Nike. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” conceded Bell, whose team finished 11th in 2012. “We didn’t run our best last year, but we feel we can be up there this year.”

When it comes to categorizing the boys and girls cross country teams at Carmel, there is nothing closely related to being minor. You can pin the word major on these two remarkable teams at the school on Main Street. The facts show that cross country is big time at Carmel. The impressive facts show: • A staggering 226 Carmel students were on the two teams this season, including a whopping 128 on the girls’ squad. And the number of runners on both teams is not on a one-year curve. Two years ago, the girls’ team had an enrollment of 136. The boys’ team once had almost 150 competitors before time standards forced annual roster cuts.

• The cross country programs in the Carmel middle schools and Carmel Dad’s Club are brimming with future standouts, and a youth program at Northview Church enlists almost 1,000 runners.

• Winning state championships are not a rare occurrence in either gender classification. After winning both the boys and girls state championships last month in Terre Haute, Carmel has now claimed a breath-taking 28 Indiana titles (15 girls and 13 boys) during a 37-year stretch.

Minor? Hardly. “Cross country is so strong in Carmel,” noted boys coach Doc Bell. “With the youth programs, the middle school programs and the support systems, it is almost easy to coach. There is so much interest in the Carmel school district.” Not to be forgotten is the Carmel tradition in cross country. Current IUPUI boys cross country and track and field coach Chuck Koeppen laid the foundation during his 37-year tenure at Carmel. Koeppen’s teams won 22 state championships (11 by each squad) and collected 60 sectional, 52 regional and 29 semi-state trophies.
