Successful Track & Field Program. Concordia was
ranked #17 in the National USTCA NCAA Division III Team Power Rankings
in
2001. Concordia’s Team Power Ranking would rank them 15th among
NCAA Division II teams in 2001. Concordia finished 4th in the
highly competitive 11 team Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
(MIAC).
Successful Cross Country Program. Concordia has moved
up into the top teams in the NCAA Division III Central Region. In the 2001
Cross Country season the Cobbers hope finish in the top 10 at the NCAA
Division III Central Region Championship, despite returning only one of
their top 7 runners from 2000.
No Tryouts. No Cuts. If you want to be on a great
team and are willing to work hard then we have a spot on the team for you.
We have a wide range of ability on our team from National Caliber to Conference
Qualifier. Everyone travels. Everyone competes. No one sits home.
We attend very few meets that limit entries or require qualifying marks.
Special Trips. Each year the Track & Field team
travels to a warm climate for a week to train. Sites have included: Los
Angeles, California; San Diego, California; Tampa, Florida;
San Antonio, Texas. The Cross Country team takes a week long trip
to scenic Northern Minnesota to run in State Parks and Forests. Both trips
are awesome team bonding experiences.
Big Meets. If you have the ability Concordia will
take you to some of the biggest meets in the Midwest including the Drake
Relays and the Kansas Relays. Being a top athlete also means
traveling around the country for National Meets.
Multi-Sport Athletes. You can compete in more than
one sport at Concordia. You don’t have to give up one for the other.
