EP401 — Snow College XC with Coach Chase Englestead: Building a Top-10 NJCAA Program, Utah Distance Culture, Lydiard Roots & JUCO Pathways
Howdy & aloha! Airey Bros Radio laces up with Coach Chase Englestead, Head Men’s & Women’s Cross Country Coach at Snow College (Richfield/Ephraim, UT). Hired in 2024 to launch the Badgers’ program, Chase already has the men ranked #6 and women #7 in the NJCAA national poll. We dig into Utah’s deep distance culture, JUCO recruiting, elevation training (5,300–10,000 ft), Lydiard-inspired aerobic development (with selective double-threshold), the benefits of a tight small-campus setup, LDS mission maturity, and why Snow wants to make D1s nervous at invites—then points to Fort Dodge in November and the NJCAA Half Marathon.What you’ll learn
How to build a brand-new JUCO XC program into a national Top-10 in two years
Why Snow College’s elevation, trails, housing, and price are a recruiting cheat code
Training philosophy: big aerobic base, thresholds, strength, and when double-thresholds make sense
Culture > times: selecting athletes who raise the standard and stick with the process
How roster caps + Utah’s pipeline are reshaping the JUCO → D1 pathway
