The Blake Athletic Department is excited to announce Blake Alum Grant Krieger ‘13 as our Head Track and Field Coach. 

Grant is excited to continue the success of Blake’s Track and Field program. He has spent multiple years training and coaching alongside multiple Olympians and world record holders. Grant also helps coach multiple polevault camps around the midwest. With 15 years as a track athlete himself and a handful of years coaching he brings a fresh attitude and strategy to coaching each event.

His athletic background includes being a two time All-American and three time State Champion while competing in the pole vault as a Blake athlete himself. Grant also competed for Clemson University and the University of Wisconsin Madison as a vaulter.

Grant hopes to build on all the traditions the current track and field team has in place. His goals are to help give athletes the tools to learn what they want to excel at and the opportunity to specialize their training to create the best team of diverse athletes he can. He believes track is all about bettering yourself and continuously trying to improve your personal best. Grant hopes to coach in a way that helps student athletes apply that same skill and confidence to their life. 

The Athletic Department and Coach Krieger are working to put together a quality coaching staff currently and will have more updates on this shortly once things are confirmed.  

 Please join us in welcoming Grant Krieger back to the Blake Track and Field family.  

Go Bears!
