Coach Engelbrecht has spent the majority of his life in Northern Virginia, attending Loudoun County Public Schools and competing in cross country as his primary sport. He originally planned to continue his running career at Liberty University, but a car accident altered that path and led him to become a collegiate cheerleader. Now, 14 years later, he has returned to the sport as a coach, leading the middle school cross country team at Immanuel Christian School. He brings a unique perspective and appreciation for the sport, along with a desire to invest in the growth of his athletes. Coach Engelbrecht is married with three children and also serves as a pastor at Immanuel Bible Church, and he and his family are grateful to be part of the ICS community.
