A very special thank you to all the Boys Track Coaches at Los Gatos
High School! Your tireless effort has been much appreciated and you
will be missed and remembered for all that you have done.
Brandon Vance - You have
done an awesome job with all the jumpers and vaulters! We all know
the ups and downs that you have had these past years but I'm not
sure if people know how much of your life that you put on hold for
these kids. We all fell blessed for your contribution and are
excited for you as a new life awaits you...
Karl Keska - You have
been an amazing addition to the coaching staff and you have directed
these distance athletes to a whole new level of competition. You are
a great coach and have been a great friend to everyone on the staff.
We all hope you continue with your passion wherever you go! Thank
you for all your time and even for that extra bit of drive time from
Portola Valley every day!
Scott Wenholz - Thank you, thank you for being a part
of the family of coaches at Los Gatos. You brought much needed
experience to the jumps, hurdles and sprit areas of the team and you
have done a tremendous job with the kids. You have really
strengthened the coaching staff in ways you may not even know.
Steve Sherer - Gosh, I'm not sure if the kids
know how lucky they are to have coaches with such talent themselves
on the team. Steve, you have been wonderful with the kids and your
passion for the sport really spreads to the whole team. Best of luck
in your season, we will all be cheering for you!
Willie Harmatz - I know you would never call
yourself a legend but if it was not for you, there is no way this
program would be where it is at today. You made this program with
you own two hand years ago and it is now an honor for any one who
coaches, to be a part of it. That you for the endless help in
coaching, putting on meets, helping fit the kids with the right
shoes, for the constant council. You have been there for everyone in
more ways then I can list and have been a father, or should we call
it a grandfather to everyone.
It may be time for you to make your comeback!
