Our program culture is built on dedication, resilience, and the shared joy of pushing our limits in the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains.
We carry a legacy of excellence through our altitude training program. Our Girls Team are back-to-back-to-back Nevada 3A State Champions — three consecutive titles — while our Boys Team are the reigning back-to-back Nevada 3A State Champions.
