Gregg Cornell: Head Coach

Gregg Cornell has been the coach at CCRI since 1989. During this time he has coached 6 NJCAA Div.3 All Americans and over 20 All District runners. The Men’s team has placed in the top 3 at the North East District Meet 5 times. The men’s team has placed in the top ten at the NJCAA Div. 3 Nationals 3 times. All these accomplishments are important and inspirational but the enjoyment of running and making running an important part of the student’s life is the most important thing to Coach Cornell. Coach Cornell has been a runner for over thirty years. He was an All Conference runner at Falmouth MA high school during the 70’s. In 1984 he won the NJCAA New England championship while running for CCRI. In 1986 he won New England Div. 3 NCAA Title while attending Bridgewater State College. That same Fall Coach Cornell finished in 8th place at the NCAA Div. 3 National Championships. Once again Coach Cornell believes these are wonderful accomplishments but they come second to being able to still run and be a part of the sport of Cross Country. Coach Cornell wants to have his athletes be good students, strong runners and good people.
