Teacher Appreciation: Coach Risk

I have been running in cross country for 5 years now, and coach Risk is the coach that stands out the most when I think about my coaches. Risk has always been one of the funnest coaches on the team, whether it’s out on the run or just hanging out before practice.  

One of Risk’s best qualities as a coach is making sure that he has a relationship with every single runner on the team. My sophomore year of cross country I was lucky enough to get into Risk’s training group. I feel like in that group I not only learned how to become a better runner but a better person too. After making so many fun memories with that group I became more and more dedicated to the sport of running. So thanks coach Risk for helping me and countless other runners for becoming the people and runners that we are today.
