Cross Country Coach, Brenda Clark-Warne

Brenda brings over thirty years of coaching experience to BCA’s cross country team. Her coaching experience includes serving as head boys’ and girls’ cross country coach at Andover High School since 2015. Prior to serving as head coach, Brenda spent sixteen years as assistant coach for the same teams at Andover High School. Over her career, Brenda has also coached cross country and winter and spring distance teams at Methuen High School and two high schools in Indiana. Brenda has consistently led her teams to state and all-state titles throughout her coaching career.

A dedicated runner herself, Brenda ran competitively throughout high school and college where she was a Division I full scholarship athlete at Eastern Michigan University. During college, Brenda was Conference Champion in the 5000 meters. She held the Eastern Michigan University record in the 5000 meters until 1999. In 1996, Brenda ran a 2:51 marathon, missing the Olympic Trials qualifying time by one minute. Through her coaching role at BCA, Brenda hopes to instill in BCA’s students a commitment to running as a way of life. Brenda tells us, “It is a fun challenge to help develop athletes who hope to see success now and who will also, hopefully, learn to love running for a lifetime.”

2025 Season Recap

The 2025 Bradford Christian Academy cross country season reflected the steady growth of a developing program grounded in perseverance, teamwork, and measurable improvement. Across both the boys’ and girls’ teams, student-athletes demonstrated meaningful personal progress, with many runners posting significant time improvements over the course of the season. Competing in MAISAD and NEPSAC Division 4 championships—often through cooperative team scoring to ensure full participation—BCA athletes gained valuable championship experience while representing the school with determination and sportsmanship. As a small program with a strong emphasis on individual development, BCA cross country continues to build a foundation for long-term success while fostering discipline, resilience, and character in every runner.
