           It’s officially time to nominate the best of the best from across the Permian Basin and West Texas! High school coaches can now submit their graduating seniors to represent their schools as FCA All-Stars,  athletes who not only excel in competition but lead with faith, integrity, and character.

           New for 2026: Cross Country &amp;amp; Community 5K
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We’re excited to announce that Cross Country will officially join the roster of FCA All-Star sports this year! These endurance athletes exemplify perseverance, discipline, and focus - qualities that perfectly align with FCA’s mission of honoring Christ through sport.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           To celebrate this addition, we’ll also host our first-ever Community 5K Run, a family-friendly event inviting the entire Permian Basin to lace up and join in the fun. Whether you run, jog, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, this event is a chance for our whole community to come together in support of our All-Stars.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           All-Star Week is about more than wins and highlights - it’s about impact, purpose, and transformation. Over four unforgettable days, student-athletes will experience:
