Blake Cross Country Coaching Announcement

1/11/19

 

Blake Cross Country Community,

 

We are pleased to announce that Maggie Pierson and John Shelp will become Co-Head Coaches for the upcoming 2019 Fall season.  

Maggie and John were both respected assistant coaches within the program in past years.  Both are excited to partner up and lead the cross country program next season and beyond. Each coach brings unique training styles and strong connections with Blakes’ student athletes.   

 

Maggie and John are faculty at Blake. Maggie teaches Social Studies at our Upper School Campus and John teaches Physical education at our Highcroft Campus.

 

“We are excited to build upon the team’s past successes and also bring new ideas, training, and team philosophy to Blake Cross Country. We’re eager to continue to foster tremendous students and people while climbing the ranks of highly competitive running programs. We look forward to the 2019 cross country season and all that is to come. Thank you for your continued support of the program.” -John Shelp, and Maggie Pierson

 

We are pleased to note that Geoff Fuller will also be returning to his assistant coach role as he was at the end of the 2018 season. We are blessed to have such a talented staff.  

 

Go Bears!

Director of Athletics
