Girls Varsity & JV Cross Country
The Loomis Chaffee girls cross country team trains hard, races hard, runs fast — and has fun in the process. The team is a perennially competitive program in the Founders League and New England Prep School Division I. Building on the program's trademarks of camaraderie and gutsy running, the team features both seasoned veterans and promising newer runners who show the same determination and dedication as their more experienced teammates.
The varsity and junior varsity squads are part of one girls team, allowing every girl interested in running the opportunity for coaching and racing to the best of her ability. The program is individually based so that younger athletes as well as runners with more experience are allowed to build strength at appropriate levels, and most of the team’s training is done on grass and trails.

Rebecca PurdyHead Coach
Becky Purdy came to the Island in 1998 as a dorm affiliate and joined the Communications Office in 2001. In 2003 she joined the girls cross country coaching staff and has been the head coach since 2005. During her time at the helm, her teams have won numerous Founders League championships and have earned several plaques for finishing among the top three teams at the Division I New England Championships. She has produced hundreds of All-League harriers and multiple All-New England runners, including multiple individual New England champions.
Becky's coaching philosophy focuses on team success through camaraderie, competition, and courage. With 30 or more girls on her squad each year, her training program brings significant individual improvement across the roster while fostering the close-knit culture that defines Loomis Chaffee cross country.
Becky competed in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track throughout high school and college. At Williams College, where she was graduated magna cum laude in 1987, she captained all three teams, including both her junior and senior years as a cross country captain. One of the top distance runners at Williams throughout her college career, she set several college records in indoor and outdoor track events. Becky still runs and participates in half marathons and other road races. When she's not out on the cross country course with her team, she works as associate director of communications at Loomis, serving as managing editor of the school magazine and writing for and editing a variety of print and digital publications at the school. She and her husband, English teacher and coach Scott Purdy, live on campus, and have two daughters, Erika ’15 and Cameron ’18.
