It seems like there is no men’s track or cross country team at NU, is this correct? If so, is there a club team or anything? It seems a little odd that it would be the only Big Ten school to not support a track team in any form.
It was cut back in the Eighties. They have a track club that starts in the Fall for X-C season.
It is indeed a bit odd. There isn’t even a real track (indoor or outdoor) on campus, but there is a club team. Its mostly guys, some girls, mostly distance runners too, and the people are really nice.
Here’s a link to the track club website, in case you are interested: http://groups.northwestern.edu/runners/Home.php
There is a women’s xc team at NU. (One of D’s friends from high school is on the team.) But no women’s track either. It does seem odd.
The only official running team is women’s xc but there is the track/cross club for both genders and in my experience there are a lot of other opportunities to run with groups… For example my res college has a late night running/walking club…
