It has been fun watching these two grow up from their Freshman year in 2010 when I was an Assistant Coach to Coach Smith. They used to cut corners at practice not taking it seriously. We knew. They may have known that we knew, too. I'm not real sure about that. But, somewhere along the way, they woke up and realized that running wasn't all that bad after all and it is possible to improve. And so, they did. They matured and improved right before my very eyes. At this time, I'm not going to go into details of how much they improved. I'll save that for their final banquet in another month. Trust me, there will be something written about it here, too. These two are my first to make it through all four years with me as either their Assistant or Head Coach in Cross Country. For that, they hold a special place in my heart. I will miss them.

AuthorAs the Head Coach of the Excelsior Springs High School Cross Country boys and girls teams, I take pride in watching the athletes improve during a season and from one season to the next. It's rewarding to see them accomplish so much. My goal is to have both teams qualify for and advance to state during the same season. Archives
