"They don't care what you know until they know that you care." I heard the legendary Joe Newton, York HS, Elmhurst, IL, say that at a clinic when I was a young coach. The longer I'm in the sport the more I realize that this is step one if you want to have a great program.
#1 Rule of Coaching: Your athletes need to know you care. Not just about performance, but about them as people.
One of the most important lessons running taught me: How to work hard for a very long for something far in the distance. You don’t build a great Track season in May. You build it in the cold, dark months no one sees. Delayed gratification is one of the most transferable skills
WE HAVE A STATE CHAMP!! #WIN @RHS_Shells @AMiller31 @1071TheBigZ @STLhssports
2026 Cahokia Conference Champs! @RHS_Shells @GregShashack @pete__hayes @1071TheBigZ
Roxana boys are the 2026 Cahokia Conference Mississippi Division Track Champions! This is the first @RoxanaAthletics boys track conference title since 1970. Congratulations to the team, Coach Akal, and her entire staff! @STLhssports @1071TheBigZ @SoWestILHSSport @RHS_Shells
They call it Feed the Cats for a reason. A cat you only feed in the spring won’t stay alive. A cat you only feed when it’s convenient will never reach its full potential. Speed works the same way. If you want fast kids in May, you better feed speed all year. I’ve seen what happens when speed is treated like a priority. Healthy. Fast. Explosive. Confident. That is how you Feed the Cats.
I get daily reports of coaches who don't FTC. When asked, one of the coaches who does the typical long runs for sprinters why she thinks some of our senior girls' times have regressed (haven’t PR'd since sophomore year). She replied, “Girls peak earlier than guys." 😵💫

Gianna Stassi became the second fastest 3 miler in school history (18:22.5) & Nova Shaw tied for 3rd (18:27.0).
This season Anthony Hardin became the second fastest 3 miler in school history (15:38.5), Noah Crump the 7th (16:17.2), Easton Johnston the 8th (16:19.4), & Peyton Pride the 10th (16:48.8).
Great ending to a great season at the IHSA State Meet yesterday! Both teams placed 23rd and all runners had great races. We couldn’t be more proud of both teams qualifying for state and the way they competed this season.
