Pierce College Fort Steilacoom adds cross country club |
| Pierce College Fort Steilacoom, which is located next door to one of the prime running areas in Pierce County, has added cross country to its list of athletics
teams as a club sport.
With Fort Steilacoom Park and its 400 acres of paths and running trails as a next-door neighbor, cross country is a natural addition to the Raider athletics lineup. If interest is high enough, the team could become a regular intercollegiate sport at Pierce, said Duncan Stevenson, Director of Pierce District Athletics. |

| Pierce College Fort Steilacoom, which is located next door to one of the prime
running areas in Pierce County, has added cross country to its list of athletics
teams as a club sport.
With Fort Steilacoom Park and its 400 acres of paths and running trails as a next-
door neighbor, cross country is a natural addition to the Raider athletics lineup. If
interest is high enough, the team could become a regular intercollegiate sport at
Pierce, said Duncan Stevenson, Director of Pierce District Athletics.
“We've had interest in cross country from students on a regular basis,” Stevenson
said. “Now we have a very enthusiastic coach/advisor to focus that interest.”
The team will be coached by Pierce College faculty member Steve Johnson. It will
compete as a club sport against Northwest Athletic Association of Community
Colleges, universities, and in open events starting this fall. Currently there are 13
other schools with cross country teams in the NWAACC, according to Stevenson.
Although the team will compete against other colleges, club sport athletes do not
use college eligibility, and both part-time and full-time students are eligible to
compete.
Three meetings are scheduled at the college, located at 9401 Farwest Drive SW,
Lakewood, for men and women interested in joining. They are on August 15, 2
p.m., room C405; August 16, p.m., room C405; Sept., 1 p.m. room C405. Johnson
can be reached at spjohnso@pierce.ctc.edu . Phone calls can be directed to
Stevenson at (253) 964-6612. |
