GUEST COACHES AND EXPERTS
You'll meet Legendary Coach Pat Tyson who is now the Distance Coach at Gonzaga University. While he was the Coach at Mead High School in Spokane, Washington the Harriers achieved an impressive record of 180-8 in one of the toughest dual-meet leagues in the nation. Reaching state competition 18 consecutive years to win 12 state titles, they never placed worse than third. During that time, the Harriers had a nine-year streak when they never lost a competition. In his last three years at Mead, Tyson's teams placed third, fourth, and fifth at the Nike Team National Championships held in Portland, Oregon. Pat was also Steve Prefontaine's roommate at the University of Oregon and will have plenty of stories to tell.
Coach Tyson calls this the “Best Middle School Running Camp in the Country.
