PREVIEW OF OUR COACHING STAFF FOR THE UPCOMING TRACK SEASON!
...With Head Coaches Ian Myers and Michael Pointer and long time Assistant Coach Michael Balasek all stepping down from their positions last season, it's been a significant challenge to pull together a replacement crew for this upcoming season!
...But we're getting it done! -See below to see how the 2015 Track and Field Coaching staff is shaping up; we've managed to pull together quite an impressive line-up of part-time Assistant Coaches, but still looking for another Head Coach to share the burden with Greg of managing the team (especially on meet days) assist with all the administrative tasks (expecting a roster of ~160!) and help sustain the winning tradition and awesome experience that is MCHS Track and Field.
First day of Track and Field practice is Feb 9th! ...As a reminder, the track season is longer than XC = 14 weeks for most leading up the NBL Championships and 17 weeks for those elite few qualifying for the State Championships on June 5/6.
