About Joe Newton:

One look at Joe Newton’s record and it’s easy to see why he’s achieved near-legendary status as a cross country coach.

During 48 years at York High School in Elmhurst, Illinois, he has dominated like no other cross country coach ever has.

He started his scholastic coaching career in 1954 in Waterman, Illinois, before moving on three years later to York High School in Elmhurst, Illinois, where he’s been ever since.

His boys’ cross country teams have won an unprecedented 19 national championships, 24 state championships, and 114 conference titles. They have also won an impressive 98% of their home meets.

Newton’s coaching accomplishments have earned him a long list of awards and honors.

He was named National High School Cross Country Coach of the Year by the National High School Coaches Association in 1975 and by the National Federation of High School Administrators in 1994.

In addition, he has been named High School Cross Country Coach of the Year 16 times by the Northern Illinois Track Coaches Association and 15 times by the Illinois High School Coaches Association.

In 1988, Newton was chosen as one of the coaches of the U.S. men’s track and field Olympic team in Seoul, South Korea. He was the first high school coach to ever receive this honor.

Known as a master motivator, Newton is a frequent guest speaker at corporate meetings and social gathering around the United States. He has delivered his message of teamwork, commitment, and discipline more than 5,000 times.
