Quincy Notre Dame Cross Country Alumni

Always good to see alumni runners! Connor Redington (‘04) and Andrew Edgar (‘07) tower above Coach E. Connor and his son were in town for a World Cup match game.

I made the same statement 15 to 20 years ago when told one couldn’t have a track program without a track of one’s own. All it requires is creative, out of the box thinking. Track is a sport with opportunities for athletes from all kinds of athletic backgrounds from volleyball to football to basketball to cross country.

The North Lawndale College Prep Boys Track and Field team won the 2026 IHSA Class 1A Sectional Championship and is heading to the state championship, doing it all without having a track of their own to practice.

What happened here somewhere back in the 2006-2008 timeframe?

There is another post out there concerning alumni gear. Many of you were tagged. It was not posted by or endorsed by this group. It is highly likely spam and should be ignored until I can figure out how to delete it!

Who remembers the stick and what we used it for? I think I remember who it was that lashed the skull to the stick but what year was it? Absolutely no prize for the correct guess!

We are sad to announce that Dorothy and Bob Haley, parents of Super Alumni runners Anthony, Tim, Jeff, Zach, and their alumni runner spouses Samantha and Katelyn, have experienced a total loss due to a house fire. We request your support and prayers for the family during this difficult time. Cards and other support can be sent to Anthony and Samantha. Please message them for the address.

It’s amazing when cleaning on a cold winter day what you will find. In the early years, we prepared binders for each runner that included articles on proper nutrition and hydration, stretching, treatment of injuries and other running related articles. Also included was the upcoming season schedule as well as suggested training over the summer months. I tried over the course of many seasons to get my runners to fill out training logs so individuals could track their workouts and monitor progress or be able to troubleshoot problems. Didn’t have much luck though. 

One of my first selfies back at the state meet around 2008. I was blessed with many great runners over the years and it was always special to end each season at the big show with them!
