Cross Country

View the cross country schedule

The Founders Christian School cross country program has been one of the school’s most successful programs. At the junior high level, the FCS cross country program has produced numerous district champions in both boys’ and girls’ divisions. In 2015 Founders Christian School added a freshman class, and the school’s inaugural varsity cross country season was afoot. In that season, with only a freshman class, the FCS varsity cross country program produced the men’s state runner-up in TAPPS Division A.

Cost:  Varsity                  $250

For the past fifteen years, Dan Baker has been coaching cross country, basketball, and track on a number of levels. In his most recent season as a varsity level basketball coach, Coach Baker's team made an appearance in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) 1-A state championship game. Coach Baker is also a USATF level 1 certified track and field coach, and his accompishments in track and field and cross country speak for themselves. Coach Baker has coached district and state-level champions and runners-up on the junior high and high school levels in each of his track and field and cross country seasons at FCS. Coach Baker's true value, however, lies in the fact that his concern is not merely for physical development, but especially for the Christian faith and character of the athletes he trains.
