Corban Phillips Returns to His Alma Mater to Coach Cross-Country and Track and Field

Corban Phillips is Headed to Northwest University as Assistant Coach of Cross-Country and Track & Field. Corban is number 79 in this picture when I coached him in high school.

One of the most meaningful experiences in life is witnessing a former student and runner carry the torch to the next generation with their unique gifts and calling. Corban Phillips is an exceptional runner and a dedicated high school coach, now transitioning to a new role to inspire athletes at Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington.                                         

I've known Corban since first grade and had the privilege of coaching him in cross-country and track and field during high school. Our connection remains strong to this day.

Corban excelled as a collegiate athlete, showcasing his talent at Northwest University. For several years, he also served as an assistant coach for cross-country and track and field at Cedar Park Christian in Bothell, where he helped design workouts and guide the teams.

During his inspiring tenure as a high school coach, Corban help lead  his teams to remarkable achievements:

- Went undefeated against 1A teams in 2024

- The boys' team won the state cross-country title in 2023, while both the girls' and boys' teams won in 2024.

- Established the fastest 1-5 team times in school history

- Secured the top five spots on the boys' all-time school record list

- Achieved a cumulative personal record (PR) improvement of 50 minutes and 33 seconds as a team in 2024

- Won a boys' state track and field title in 2024

- Coached two individual state titles in the 800 and 1600 meters

- Qualified a record number of athletes for state, many of whom earned medals

Follow the next chapter in the journey of this remarkable young coach and incredible individual.

Coaching transcends wins, losses, and results; while Corban is destined for outstanding accomplishments, his true strength lies in his character. I have no doubt that Corban will continue to inspire young men and women, guiding them to realize their God-given potential through his work ethic and integrity on and off the track.

Blessings,

Coach Weber
