[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has got to be a troll.  A coach worried about a 6th grader running an 11 minute 1.5 race and texting a parent to confirm whether or not she came in 30th place?

No serious XC coach would waste his/her time with this.[/quote]

Not a troll. This is why I posted - I agree with everything you said. I could not figure out the motivation for this (actually I think DCUM has some good theories). For the team or the sport or whatever, these times/places are inconsequential. For my kid, this race and her result was a huge deal. So I was confused why I got this text, literally the only time a coach has texted about anything after two years of being on this team. I don't know if there were mean intentions behind it but it left a sour taste in my mouth for sure.  I wish I had ignored it (I responded nicely and thanked her for coaching).

Coaches are parents, everyone likes to talk about how they are Boston qualifiers in their little bios. The coach who sent the text has a sixth grader who is the #2 varsity runner so it's not like my kid is even close to that.

Anyone, thank you everyone! [/quote]
