Coaches

Coach Grandon

My name is Chad Grandon, founder of Mid Iowa Track Club. I’ve lived in Maxwell since 2018 with my dauthers, Mia and Ellie, but have served the Collins-Maxwell community since August 2014 as the Elementary Principal and Assistant Cross Country Coach. I have always enjoyed running but really started dedicating time to it after college in 2008. Distance running is my passion. I enjoy running 5k, 10k, half-marathon, and marathon distances. I look forward to seeing our athletes grow stronger, gain confidence, and try new distances. Not only will we be growing athletes; we also work on creating productive young people in their communities through our mission.

Coach Meinerts

My name is Jerry Meinerts and I have lived in Maxwell since 2008. I have worked for the Collins-Maxwell school district since 2002, where I am currently the MS Math teacher, Cross Country and Girls Track Coach. I have been involved with Track & Field and Cross Country as long as I can remember. I was lucky enough to compete in both Track & Cross Country at the University of Sioux Falls, and for the past 25 years have been coaching both sports at the JH & HS level. I have obtained my Level 1 Track & Field Coaching Certification through USATF just a few years ago. My wife Heather, works at the elementary, and I have two boys, Owen (9) and Hayden (6). I'm looking forward to helping these tracksters become a more complete athlete, and teaching the value of hard work and dedication and how that can be applied to all aspects of their lives.

Coach Reisdorf

My name is MariElyn Reisdorf. I enjoy running as a life-long activity, and hope that other can too. I ran track in HS as a way to prepare for military service and while in the military, I was in charge of the physical training at two duty locations. After my military service, I continued to run for fun in several 5k and 10k races, as well as two half marathons. While I know there are many talented people that run competitively, the majority of people that run do it for fun and as a way to stay active. I hope that kids that are in the running club enjoy the competitive aspect of what we are providing, but also start a life-long love of running. I moved back to Maxwell in 2014 and have one child in kindergarten and one in 4th grade
