SplitTrackTLDR
uTeammate XC is a modern cross country team app focused on run logging, leaderboards, weekly schedules, race/PR tracking, and team messaging. Split Track covers XC and full track and field in one mobile app, with live split capture at practice and meets, deeper meet-day tools, and the same athlete-facing workout model. Pick uTeammate if you only need XC logging and light team features; pick Split Track if you want one system for track, XC, and race day.
Same sport family, different scope
Distance coaches shortlist tools that keep mileage honest and the team connected. uTeammate XC markets itself as cross country team management and run logging for high school and college teams. Split Track markets itself as one app for the whole track and XC season: schedule, meets, practices, roster, and chat.
Both put coaches, athletes, and parents on mobile. The fork is breadth (track events and live timing vs XC-first logging) and how deeply meet day and live workouts are built in.
What uTeammate XC does well
uTeammate XC centers on simple run logging with team visibility, personalized coaching (goals, weekly training schedules, feedback), race tracking, PRs, real-time leaderboards, team analytics, and team messaging. That package fits a pure XC culture: summer base, peer pressure via leaderboards, weekly plans, and season race history without a heavy meet-operations footprint.
Limits to watch as a dual-sport program
uTeammate XC is explicit about cross country. If your spring is track (sprints, jumps, throws, multi-event assignments, heat sheets, field events), you will still need other tools. Live capture of interval splits on the track, dual-meet event assignment, and volunteer timers on a single shared meet screen are not the center of an XC run-log product.
If one staff runs both seasons, two specialized apps can mean two rosters and two parent logins.
Where Split Track wins for many coaches
Split Track is built for track and field and cross country together. Practices and meets share one calendar with RSVPs and attendance. Meet Manager handles assignments, live times and splits, helper timers, and instant team-facing results.
