Offical page for the Furman University Cross Country and Track teams
The mission of Furman University Cross Country and Track along with the elite post-collegiate club, is to provide continuing support to America’s best distance prospects whereby athletic goals are rooted in long-term development planning and seamless transitions in career milestones and academic growth is founded in engaged learning and broadening and refining educational pursuits.We are committed to providing an elite athletic experience that closely mirrors a professional approach to training, racing and developing. That experience begins with a careful transition into a college setting that prioritizes individual development and healthy growth through pragmatic training, physiological testing, and racing opportunities based on a broad-vision international schedule instead of a narrow-vision conference scoring schedule. Furman University and Furman Elite will work cooperatively to provide post-collegiate opportunities whereby athletes are supported financially, intellectually and physically to pursue professional running aspirations without interruptions in support, local, coaching or resources.
