Welcome
Welcome to the 2016 Monroe High Trojan Track & Field Season. We've had two good weeks of team conditioning and a great winter with a small portion of our team. We face a few struggles as we start, but do so with enthusiasm.The roster size looks good, but we will continue to reach out to student-athletes in the building. When I approach an MHS student to talk to him about Trojan Track & Field, I do so with confidence. I know that our program is a good place for MHS student-athletes. Our coaches are knowledgeable and passionate, or history and tradition are second to none, and our recent results are the best of any boys sport at MHS. We make champions.
This season marks my 16th year as a track coach at MHS and my 15th as a head coach. As a Trojan Track & Field alumnus, this sport and program are important to me. We develop champions, but more importantly, we develop young men. As we enter the season, we do so with a focus on team, trust, love and excellence. Let's be the team we're destined to be and the leaders our school and community need.
To paraphrase the great Bill Bowerman, "Men of Monroe, I invite you to become students of your events. Running, jumping, and throwing, one might say, are basically absurd past-times upon which to be exhausting ourselves. But if you can find meaning, in the kind of running, jumping, and throwing you have to do to stay on this team, chances are you will be able to find meaning in another absurd past-time: life.”
