The Coach:

Coached cross country and track and field for 2 years at Pine Forest High School in Pensacola, Florida before transfering to my current position coaching the same sports for West Florida High School. 

2009 Track Season: First Ever Boys and Girls finish as District Champion!

2009 Cross Country Season: Girls and Boys both have best season in school history.  Girls finished first in the district, had the fastest team average in Pensacola with 4 out the top 6 runners in Escambia and Escarosa County combined and competing in the State Championship for the first time ever.  The Boys also had a record breaking season finishing 2nd in districts with a team full of new runners and also qualifying for the state Championship.

The Runner:

I still love to run, more specifically to race.  I focused on the 800m in high school and in college at the University of Maine.  My high school PR was a 1:58.8 at the New England Championship while my College PR was a 1:54.12.  I also ran the 2nd leg of the school record breaking 4x800m, 7:34.1.

1999 - New England Championship - High School PR of 1:58.8

University of Maine 4x800m Record - 7:34.1

 Two years after graduating from college I started to miss running.  I wanted to get back into racing but trying to find 800m races to enter is almost impossible outside of college.  I decided to get into 5k racing.  It took me a couple of years to get in shape but currently I am running faster 5k times then I ever did in high school or college.  My current 5k pr is 16:12.
