From near extinction to total redemption, NKU cross country reflects Kruse’s perseverance

Image
The NKU cross country team qualified for the 1979 NCAA Division II nationals. ------------------------------------------------------ Steve Kruse isn’t just a head coach at Northern Kentucky University. No, he’s more of a reluctant landmark on the Highland Heights campus, a statue of adaptive perseverance and impassioned longevity. A nearly six-decade association with the NKU cross country program — both as a runner and head coach — has made Kruse a modern connection to the infancy of the athletics program. It wouldn’t be accurate to say he’s a walking history book, simply because Kruse’s best known in the area of running. And, in 26 years as cross country head coach, he’s built a program that’s successful both academically and athletically. The affable Kruse is also inconspicuously linked to Hollywood giants Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman from an NKU perspective. Ever hear of the Academy Award-winning movie “Rain Man” and a place called St. Anne Convent? Steve Kruse Having been around N...

NCAA Tournament stunner! NKU defeats Findlay, ends nation’s longest home win streak at 59

Image
(This story was originally published on March 11, 2007) Special to The Post FINDLAY, Ohio — Prior to Sunday night’s NCAA Division II Tournament game against Northern Kentucky University, a group of Findlay students unveiled a sign that asked the following question of Norse standout guard and Bowling Green State transfer Steven Wright: “Hey, Steven, why did you leave Bowling Green?” The answer?

That’s exactly what Wright and his Norse teammates did Sunday night with a 60-56 victory over No. 3 Findlay in Croy Gymnasium. NKU (24-8) ignored a loud, raucous Findlay crowd of nearly 2,000, clamped down defensively late in the second half and earned a spot in the regional championship game against No. 7 Grand Valley State on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. How does it f...

What’s this? Trying to rebuild the old NKU Athletics Website for years 1999-2009

Image
Note: From 1999-2009, the office of sports information designed and operated the NKU Athletics website. On Aug. 12, 2009, NKU launched a new website designed by Internet Consulting Services, a content-management platform provider that later became SIDEARM Sports. The original NKU Athletics website, however, was not maintained after 2014 and many links and images on the NKU server are missing. This is an attempt at placing many of the stories online with archived screenshots. Below are the first-ever recaps from the old NKU Athletics website from Sept. 18, 1999. Click on the images below to clearly view the original recaps in an html file. These recaps directly below are from the second day of the old NKU Athletics website, Sept. 19, 1999.
