2008 Cross Country Outlook 

There’s a lot to be excited about in the 

Corban cross country program heading into 

the 2008 campaign. The Warrior women 

received its highest national pre-season 

ranking ever at No. 27 among all NAIA 

schools, while the men’s team features the 

most quality senior experience the program 

has had at any time in its six-year history. 

Couple this known quantity of talent with 

an exciting rookie class and the Warriors are 

poised to press the best teams in the Cascade 

Collegiate Conference. 

“The runners’ attitudes are fantastic,” 

said sixth-year head coach Norm Berney. 

“Both teams are really committed to having 

great seasons. Depth-wise, we are as good 

as we’ve ever been, and we have key runners 

on both the men’s and women’s teams that 

are freshmen. It’s hard to know for sure until 

we hit the competition, but we are excited 

about the potential we have in the program 

this season.” 

Unlike a year ago, the ‘08 Corban men’s 

squad will have the strength and luxury of 

three long-time capable veterans turned 

seniors leading the attack. Fourth-year 

lettermen Ben Snell (SR, 5-6, Spray, Ore.), 

Jason Bernard (SR, 5-11, Salem, Ore.), and 

Brian Beeson (SR, 6-2, Soldotna, Alaska) are 

coming off strong junior years, and should 

give the Warriors a formidable trio of point 

scorers. Snell returns as the team’s 2007 

MVP; Bernard has competed in every meet 

since his freshmen year and has been among 

the top five finishers three consecutive 

seasons, and Beeson was the leading Corban 

finisher at the NAIA Region I Championships 

a year ago. 

“They’re going to be the key as to 

whether we can be in that top two or 

three in the conference, and whether we’re 

going to have a shot at the nationals,” said 

Berney. “It’s great to have these seniors. 

They’re showing the kind of attitude and 

hard work that can make the difference in 

accomplishing these goals.” 

Berney expects experienced runners like 

Jeffrey Schloemer (JR, 6-4, Mt. Vernon, 

Wash.), Ben Search (SO, 6-1, Battleground, 

Wash.), Kevin Cook (SO, 5-11, Ashland, 

Ore.), Jason Hardrath (SO, 5-10, Baker City, 

Ore.) and Beau St. Peter (SO, 6-1, Salem, 

Ore.) to make the men stronger in scoring 

overall as a team. 

New talent like Caleb Goins (FR, 

5-6, Scio, Ore.), Josh Baker (FR, 5-10, 

Anchorage, Alaska), Cory Shields (FR, 5-11, 

Jefferson, Ore.) and Kevin Coriano (FR, 5- 

11, Anchorage, Alaska) give Corban its best 

depth of young potential in years. 

“The nice thing is we now have runners 

with quality experience out of high school 

who have been successful there, and that 

should help them transition to collegiate 

competition much faster,” said Berney. 

Ranked 27 th in the nation, the Corban 

women will rely on the leadership of twotime 

all-conference performer Carli Moller 

(JR, 5-6, Vancouver, Wash.), who has two 

years of national championship competition 

experience. Moller was the Warriors’ No. 

2 runner in 2007, behind all-region runner 

Danielle Jordan, and finished 5th in the 

conference championship a year ago. 

A pair of hard-running sophomores 

Karissa Griggs (SO, 5-3, Athena, Ore.) and 

Ali Ghavami (SO, 5-5, Keizer, Ore.) will 

help set the standard of dedication and drive 

that could help the scoring potential of the 

Warrior women as a team. 

Newcomers Jennifer Hague (FR, 5-4, 

Florence, Ore.) and Amy Renfro (FR, 5-3, 

Albany, Ore.) bring great promise to the 

program, both entering with the fastest high 

school cross country times freshmen female 

competitors have had entering Corban. 

Berney has also been pleasantly surprised by 

the showing of rookies Becca Zanon (FR, 5- 

5, Salem, Ore.) and Courtney Welling (FR, 

5-6, Springfield, Ore.). Jocelyn Smith (FR, 

5-2, Yakima, Wash.) and Alethea Strauser 

(FR, 5-4, Salem, Ore.) give Corban one of 

its biggest and most promising freshmen 

running classes ever. 

 

Warriors


Coach and Player Bios 

Norm Berney 

Head Coach 

Norm Berney put 

together Corban’s first 

men’s and women’s 

cross country teams in 

2003. The Warriors 

competed in eight 

events during the 

season including the NAIA Region I 

championships hosted by the University of 

British Columbia. 

Two years ago, Norm led the women’s 

program to its first-ever Cascade Collegiate 

Conference crown and earned conference 

Coach of the Year honors in the process. 

Along with the program’s first-ever 

conference title, Norm guided the Warriors 

to their highest national ranking ever (16th) 

in the final NAIA poll and earned a berth to 

the 2007 NAIA Championships where the 

team finished 27th overall. 

Starting a cross country program 

is nothing new for Norm. He has been 

involved in the development of two 

new cross country programs at the high 

school level, producing a team district 

championship and a two-time individual 

state champion. Norm was an assistant 

track and cross country coach at Clackamas 

Community College for eight years. As the 

head coach in 1984, Clackamas finished 

second in the state and fourth in the 

NWACC championships. 

“I believe that everyone can benefit 

from exercise and athletic participation,” 

Norm said. “No one should be 

discriminated against because of size, speed 

or race, and everyone can improve and be 

an important part of a team. Corban is 

a place where athletes and students are 

encouraged to grow spiritually and find 

God’s plan for their lives.” 

Norm was an assistant wrestling coach 

at Clackamas for four years, and the head 

wrestling coach from 1975-77, 1978- 

89. He was named the Oregon Wrestling 

Coach of the Year five times, and National 

Coach of the Year in 1987. In 1992, he 

was installed in the National Wrestling Hall 

of Fame. 

A graduate of Eastern Oregon State 

University in 1968, Norm received his M.S. 

from Portland State University in 1974 and 

has a solid background in public relations. 

He has had various speaking engagements 

in high schools, companies and community 

organizations primarily in the area of 

education. 

Norm and his wife, Nancy, currently 

reside in Oregon City. They have a 

daughter, Marlies, and a son, Thomas, who 

graduated from Corban in 2007. 

Brent Fahsholz 

Assistant Coach 

Brent Fahsholz moves 

from the course to the 

coaching staff, as he 

moves into his second 

season on the Warriors’ 

coaching staff along 

side head coach Norm 

Berney. Brent will be handling the training 

of the runners, as well as running side-byside 

the student-athletes during workouts. 

In 2006, Brent concluded his career 

as a Warrior by winning two-out-of-three 

races that he competed in. Brent brought 

home the first-ever Corban/Warner Pacific 

Invitational individual title thanks to a racebest 

time of 26:33.41. Two races earlier, 

Brent won the season-opening race at 

Pacific University in a time of 28:16.37. As a 

senior, Brent was named the Warriors’ Most 

Improved Runner and Mighty Warrior. 

Brent is currently working for 

ARAMARK as the coffee shop manager on 

campus.

2007 Season Summary 

After an amazing season on the women’s 

side and with nearly 50% of each team’s 

roster returning from the previous season, 

fifth-year head coach Norm Berney had high 

expectations for Corban’s cross country teams. 

Out of the gates, neither team 

disappointed its head coach, as the women’s 

team opened the season with back-to-back 

second place finishes at the season-opening 

Lewis & Clark Invitational and the Pinetree 

Invitational. Senior Danielle Jordan led the 

women’s charge capturing a fourth place finish 

in Estcadad before finishing eighth overall 

in British Columbia. On the men’s side, the 

Warriors opened the season finishing fourth at 

the Lewis & Clark Invitational before capturing 

a runner-up finish at the Pinetree Invite. 

Closing out the opening month of the 

season, both teams ran at the annual Charles 

Bowles Invitational hosted by Willamette 

University. The women’s team turned in its 

highest finish ever at the event thanks to a 12 th 

place showing, while the men’s team finished 

17 th overall in a field of 27 teams. 

As the calendar turned to the month of 

October, the Warriors brought home a pair of 

team titles from the Warner Pacific / Cascade 

Open marking the first time since the ’06 

season that both Corban teams brought home 

titles from the same event. Jordan capture the 

individual title in leading the women’s team, 

while junior Ben Snell turned in a fourth place 

showing en route to leading the men’s team.

Supporting Corban Athletics 

Warrior student-athletes work hard for their accomplishments both in the 

classroom and playing arena. They deserve as much support as possible. A great 

way to support them is through membership in a sport booster club of the Warrior 

Athletic Association (WAA). 

Helping student-athletes accomplish the mission of Corban and the Department 

of Athletics is our objective. Corban athletes and teams are successful and 

accomplished today because of the unselfish contributions and efforts of WAA 

members. WAA clubs support all of Corban’s 200+ student-athletes in 13 different 

programs. 

The WAA serves as the umbrella organization for individual team booster 

clubs. Membership funds and contributions assist in providing monies for sports 

promotion, recruiting, Christian ministry projects, equipment, travel, facility 

development and the general operational support of Corban’s collegiate programs.
