Goal: Is to develop unity and accountability among teammates. We want to see a team that has bonded around a common purpose and vision.Core Values:
- Commitment to TEAM above all else. Make decisions that give the STFHS Cross Country Team the best chance of success.

- Recognize that hard work beats talent. We will not always have the most talented team. But we will always have the hardest working team. We recognize that talent without hard work is useless.
- Win with humility. A humble athlete wins like they're used to it. We will be thankful for all that we have been blessed with. Losing is taken with grace and equal humility. The lessons we learn from both victory and defeat will be applied in our next race.
- Set measurable and challenging goals. We will set goals that challenge our limits. We will have a measurable plan to achieve those goals. We will follow the plan to accomplish those goals.
