Our Crowdfunding Groups
Who We Are:
We are the Viking Cross Country/Distance Track squad— enduring athletes dedicated to achieving excellence both on and off the track. As a lively, large group, we thrive on a culture of family, teamwork, and competitive spirit. This year, we proved ourselves as key contributors to the success of the WWU Track and Field team, scoring a combined 149 of 330 conference-winning points at the GNAC Indoor Championships and 205 of 450 points at the GNAC Outdoor Championships, which we won for the second year in a row. In cross country (XC), we swept the GNAC XC Championships for the last three consecutive years; our women won first place in the 2023 NCAA Division II West Regional; and we have sent three teams to the XC national championships in the last two years. Our season is still in progress, and we know we have even bigger things ahead!
Our Goal:
We’re raising funds to invest in nutrition, equipment, and to cover travel expenses for upcoming meets. These resources will enable every runner on the team to perform at their best, ensuring they have the support and tools necessary to succeed.
Why We Need Your Support:
Despite our remarkable achievements, our budget remains limited. To continue excelling, we need to provide our distance runners with the experiences and opportunities they deserve. Here’s how your donation can make a difference:
Our total distance team’s fundraising goal is $35,000.
Your Impact:
Your donation will go directly to supporting the distance runners on our team. Rather than distributing funds across our entire 136-member track and field roster, your contribution will be streamlined to support your favorite Student-Athlete and their event group, the cross country/distance crew. This means your donation will have a direct and tangible impact on the person you’re supporting!
