A new era has dawned for Pella Christian cross country as Mike Buchheit takes over the program this fall.
Buchheit was a long time assistant for Pella coach Doug Cutler and the powerhouse Dutch programs. Buchheit hopes to emulate many of the successful traits of Cutler and his assistants across town.
“In seven seasons of being with Coach Cutler and Rob and Robin Hammann and Eric and Kari Pingel–I mean, it’s just a phenomenal coaching staff,” he says. “Coach Cutler certainly sets the tone for that program.”
Buchheit says he hopes to emulate the type of relationships Cutler has with the athletes at Pella High and the successful training program the staff has set up over the years.
The Eagles begin the cross country season on August 23rd at the Iowa State University invitational in Ames.
