Joel Enderle stands as one of the most decorated distance runners in Belmont history. Reaching new heights in the summer between his sophomore and junior years, Enderle took Belmont to new heights.

A two-time District 24 cross country individual champion and a four-time all-district performer, Enderle also earned NAIA All-America honors in the marathon as a junior.

Teammates and friends call Enderle a dedicated, determined and highly-competitive runner who never saw a race he didn't aspire to win. His value as a teammate inspired others to maximize their own potential.

Enderle later embarked on a successful professional career with Nike, Adidas and Columbia sportswear.
