Stacy Green named Highland Cougars Cross Country Coach
The Highland Cougars are excited to announce Stacy Green as their new head men's and women's cross country coach. Green will lead the Cougars in their inaugural season of competition this fall semester.

"We are looking forward to having our men's and women's cross country teams compete for the first time this fall season, and so thrilled to have Stacy leading the Cougars," said Highland Cougar Athletic Director Pete Norman. "Stacy is the ideal person and coach to build our new cross country programs. Her passion and enthusiasm are contagious, and I know our student-athletes are in good hands. We are very fortunate Stacy has accepted the position."

Coach Green is an elementary Spanish teacher at Jones-Farrar in Freeport. She graduated from Freeport High School and went on to study at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Ill.

"I am extremely excited for the opportunity to join the Cougar family and be a part of building the new cross country program at Highland. I look forward to establishing a culture that allows student-athletes to have fun running and competing — and grow into the best version of themselves," Green commented. "We will hit the ground 'running' to get ready for the fall and actively recruit student-athletes to be a part of our program, this semester and in future years. We are excited to begin building a quality cross country program."

In addition to being an avid runner, Green hails from a sports family. She spends hours watching her two sons, Payton and Cooper, play hockey, baseball, football and basketball.
