Every year, the Newman XC team hosts a meet at the City Park course in honor of our beloved Coach Zell. Coach Zell has heavily impacted the Newman XC program and his impact remains alive today. The team honors Coach Zell’s commitment, hard work, and effort toward to XC program during this meet as all of the Newman XC runners participate and “Run with Z!” Throughout the meet this past weekend, many faculty members, students, and friends gather to cheer on the XC team but also celebrate the impact and love that Coach Zell had on the XC program. The girls and boys varsity competed and both placed 3rd overall and raced in some of the best weather the team has seen this season so far. Afterwards, the Newman Community honored Coach Zell during the awards ceremony and made sure to instill his values within our running family. Coach Zell may no longer be here in person, but his impact and love for the Newman community and running will aways fuel the effort and enthusiasm shown throughout his program.
