Team History

HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM

The Naperville North Girls' Cross-Country Program first gained notoriety during the 1991 campaign, as it qualified for state for the first time in its history. While it placed 5th that year, the program since then has only twice been out of the top ten and has won six state championships and fifteen total trophies. The following is the team history of finishes at the Illinois High School Association Class 3A* State Championships...

*Class AA prior to 2007

This is a tradition of excellence built on tremendous amounts of hard work and effort. This is a young, proud history and it is printed here as a means of inspiring future team members to heights of similar and even greater achievements. Hard work makes wondrous dreams come true!
