I ran for Soles. I am the person I am today because of him. He ran an amazing program. I know the girls in the article well and ran with them. Desi Stinger didn't get to run State or NXN as a junior or senior and behind the scenes she hated Soles for that. Always said she would get back at him, I guess we now know how.
Nobody on our team was running 19 miles on a Monday, we usually did hill sprints. Milesplit did a video on it. Loved those days, they were lots of fun and Soles always made us laugh. Freshman had regulated miles, usually like 30 or something like that. They didn't do any hills until the end of the season from what I remember. They certainly weren't doing 19 miles in one day. Use your brains people. We had a huge team full of happy kids. We dominated almost every meet we went to. It was a great run with an amazing coach. When I talk to GO athletes now, they all say the same thing. They miss Soles. No surprise the new school he is at loves him. Best coach I ever had! You should have seen the horrible soccer coaches I had over the years. Now there is an article!
I’m trying to understand your post. You ran with Desi, so you were there sometime around 2013-2016. So 6 years later you’re still talking to kids from your old high school that you never ran with? Odd.
You mention your bad soccer coaches. So did you run cross country or play soccer?
