Mr. Harlock
What sports did you play growing up?
I never played on an official team, I mostly played football with friends everyday. When I wasn't doing that, I would be playing hide and seek at the playground. In college, I did track and field where I ran the 800 meter and threw shot put.
Why did you choose to coach track and cross country?
A long time ago there was a coach named Coach Anderson, he liked the way I taught my classes and suggested I coached, and here I am almost 10 years later.
Why do you like coaching?
I like to see students improve and I enjoy the sport.
