Article on the Christian Meet

Oddly, they didn’t talk to the girls team in the article, we aren’t going to Carson City … for the very reason mentioned in Coach Scully’s quote. We’ll be at Fruitport, but I hope the boys enjoy Carson City where the gun shells litter the flat ground. We’ll be off in the wooded […]

Fall is a Great Time to Run in Michigan

Tell me something I didn’t know! This weekend at Fruitport we will be running in a heavily wooded park with trails and the whole nine yards. As trees begin to change color, we can expect some beautiful running the next few weeks. Fall is truly one of my favorite seasons. The […]

Article on Catholic Invite

WC and CC got some good press on the Catholic Invite on M-Live today.
Unfortunately only CC got the good press in the football world.

Time to Contact Colleges

For those athletes desiring to move forward towards competing in college (sophomore - senior athletes) you should take the first step and contact the colleges. They cannot contact sophomores or juniors until you first contact them. Seniors can be contacted, but many coaches tell me that they do not contact athletes who have […]

Sparta Article in the Press

I just have to laugh when 2000 athletes gather and the Press cannot do more than summarize the results in a token article. Anyway, the boys got some good press about their narrow loss to South Christian.

Excellent Day at Sparta

The boys team finished second to South Christian and the girls were fourth behind very talented teams from South Christian, Allendale and Otsego. Especially thinking that our girls were down a number of our top girls, we can feel pretty good about our top half showing today.
