I wish our school had a decent coach- not even looking for excellent, just decent who actually coaches.
Sadly most ADs have no clue in what to look for in a XC coach. They are literally hiring warm bodies at this point.

Don’t gaslight. No one was talking about children.
Huh. Odd that a freshman at Langley is 18. Very unusual.
18 minutes at Burke lake? Yeah it is a tough course but good for a freshman for making the top 10
The Langley freshman is going to dominate in a year or two. It will be similar to the Yorktown sophomore this year. Excellent runners with excellent coaching. The difference in coaching across the board is stark. Nothing quite compares to SLHS and Robinson coaching at our school
That's great. She'll get a chance to show her stuff at Wolverine this weekend where a Robo freshman ran 17:55 in her first 5k high school race.
Wolverine will be a great meet.
It will be Robinson's to lose.

West Springfield has an excellent coach too- three girls in top 10 and they all have made improvements over the years.

Talking trash about coaches
These blogs are the equalizer to bad coaches that go unchecked. Sorry not sorry. I am assuming you are a low end coach lurking around to see what people think of you.
No, a parent who thinks you sound immature.
Yeah I'm sure you're a parent
I’m the parent upthread who asked to leave negativity about specific coaches and runners out of this thread and I stand by my opinion. Take it elsewhere.
Stop policing speech Karen. It’s a public thread.
It’s a public thread about group classifications. If you want to be a tool, start your own thread instead of hijacking others.
Okay Karen speech police. We’ll all make sure to run our posts by you first and make sure whatever bad coach you are a fangirl of is not offended.
