Craig Engels, on the website Tempojournal.com, was quoted to say “Back in NC State, it was more like run hard every day and if you break, you break, but if you don’t then keep running. Unfortunately, so many people get injured because of that…” Someone I know was recruited to run for NC State and was treated horribly from day one by the coaching staff. I’m being careful with my words to avoid anything self-identifying, but you should know that the program does nothing to stop a culture of hazing, and that I personally witnessed Coach Geiger in a lie face-to-face to a parent of the athlete. In short, the culture of the XCTF program at NCSU nearly ended the athlete’s career. Thankfully, the athlete left the program and went on to have a successful running career including conference championship victories and world championship appearances. The NCSU XCTF program is toxic- and the issues extend deeper than Geiger- Coach Henes is complicit in many of Geiger’s actions and should also be avoided.

Rollie has been coaching for many years and is an expert in this sport. That is why I trust the program and think he is an amazing coach! He is so passionate about this sport and his runners, it's truly an honor to run for NC State.
