Coaching

 

As a former competitive runner, in high school and college, I was fortunate to get the opportunity to give back to my sport by going back to Marshall HS as an assistant track coach, starting in the winter of 1995. As of now, though, I have not looked back, having just completed my 12th straight year as a coach. I coached winter track, spring track, and cross country for 5 years at Marshall High School (1995-2000), before going to Chantilly High School in the fall of 2000, where I am still coaching (Sept. 2000- present).

My own personal bests are as follows:

  • 1600m- 4:41.3
  • 3200m- 10:21.8
  • 3- mile (Cross Country)- 17:49 (Burke Lake)
  • 5km (track)- 16:43
  • 8k- (Cross Country)- 28:09

Over the past 14 years, as a head coach, specializing in distance events, I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with some very talented athletes. My best runners in the distance events are as follows: (BOLD refers to active athletes)
