COACHING STAFF

Coach Tippetts is fired up for his 27th season coaching Cross Country! He first took the helm at Piedmont Hills in 2000, leading the Boys’ and Girls’ teams for 16 incredible years before spending nine years at Saratoga High School, where he had the unique privilege of coaching his own children. Over nearly three decades, he’s coached thousands of student-athletes in Cross Country, Basketball, and Track and Field with always with the same goal: to help them push their limits, grow as leaders, and discover what they are truly capable of.

When he is not leading workouts, you’ll find Coach Tippetts chasing big goals of his own training for and competing in Ironman triathlons and tackling rugged Cross-Country mountain bike races or just running the trails throughout the bay. His passion for endurance sports fuels his coaching, and his energy is contagious. Whether you are a varsity veteran or brand new to running, Coach Tippetts is here to challenge you, support you, and make sure you leave every practice a stronger runner and a stronger person than when you arrived.

Pirate Cross Country is not just about running fast, it is about running together, with purpose, pride, and relentless spirit. With Coach Tippetts back on the team, get ready to work hard, dream big, and run like a Pirate!
