Wings National Team

The Wings National Team provides Native high school runners with access to national-level competition, mentorship, and leadership development. Athletes are selected through an application process and receive support with travel, race entry, and gear to compete at major cross country events.

While competition is a key component, the program goes beyond running. Athletes engage in team-building experiences, wellness practices, and cultural grounding that strengthen identity, resilience, and connection. The National Team creates a space where youth can challenge themselves, represent their communities, and grow both on and off the course.
