Welcome to Vermont Tech Cross Country

Welcome to the Vermont Tech Cross Country page. My name is Coach Dunkle. I have a great love for the sport of running and the many benefits to both the body and mind that are a result of this sport. This is my first year as Coach for Vermont Technical College. I believe that this is the greatest place to be. Vermont Tech is Nationallly recognized for its academics. Vermont Tech is in a beautiful location within view of the Green Mountains. There are incredible trails to run on and a world of opportunity awaits. This last summer we hosted our first Cross Country training camp ever held here on campus. My good friend Patrick Shane from Brigham Young University was on hand to teach coaches and athletes the fundamentals of our sport. This was a great experience. Next summer we will host the second camp here on campus. Again Coach Patrick Shane will be here along with Brigham Young University Head Men's coach Ed Eyestone. Again we will host a Coaches clinic as well as a running camp.

As a runner on the VTC Team you will have opportunities few State Schools will be able to offer. We are hosting next September the first annual 3 Stallion INN Vitational here in Randolph. College and High School teams from throughout New England and the country will be invited to come and compete. Some of the nations best NCAA runners will be here to meet and compete with Vermont's finest. We are planning either next September or 2012 to go and compete out West.

My coaching philosophy is simple. I want to know what your goals are and together we can work to make that a reality. Winning national titles is not as important as winning personal goals and standards. I define a winner as one who works hard to achieve the best they can be. I am looking for runners who are enthusiastic and excited about being a part of a new program. If this is you then email me now and lets talk.
