Victoria Funk - Head Coach

¡Hola! I’m Victoria Funk, the new Assistant Cross Country Coach at Poudre High School! I am also a Spanish teacher in the World Languages department at Poudre, where I teach Spanish 2 as well as Spanish Literacy 2, 3, and 4 to our heritage students. As a coach, I hope my love of running will spill over into all our wonderful athletes, many of whom I have had in my classroom. My dad started entering me in fun runs when I was 4 years old, and I have had the bug ever since. I was a competitive runner in high school and earned many scholarship offers for college. As an adult, my running has evolved from marathons to trails to trail ultras. Today I love running in the backcountry with my husband and exploring all the wild areas of our region. ¡Viva los Impalas!

Sarah Noble - Assistant Coach

I am excited to coach again at Poudre! The students are amazing and I am looking forward to learning from them and sharing my love for running! I graduated from Poudre with my twin and we went on to run for CSU. I have six kids; three of which have been part of Poudre cross country. Running is a life long sport and I can't wait to inspire young athletes to meet their goals! Go Poudre!

Dylan Kahn - Assistant Coach

Hello! I’m Dylan, assistant coach and social worker here at Poudre High School. 

I, like my fellow coaches, have a passion for running that dates back to middle school. As a high school track and cross country runner in Illinois, I bought in early and became one of the leaders on my team, demonstrating that even those without immense talent could have success if they trained diligently. After training on my own through college, I have remained committed to pounding out miles on the dirt with the intent of running up and down very large hills. I’m a big believer in all that cross country running can offer mentally, physically, and spiritually. There is nothing quite like high school cross country and I’m honored to be coaching here at PHS.
