The coaches’ philosophy is composed from experiences in athletics, teaching and coaching.  We believe that every student has the potential for success and our goal is to help those we coach reach their potential.  In sports, some are obvious factors for success: hard work, dedication, teamwork, discipline, and skills in the fundamentals of the meet.  Other factors for success are more indirect: leadership, development of the team chemistry and confidence, and the surprise of young runners growing into roles with enthusiasm and ability. Other intangibles include spirit, tradition and the will to win.  

Our philosophy is to attempt to bring these components together consistently with the belief that the most important part of coaching is to provide young athletes the opportunity to participate and to be the best they can be.
