Tamalpais vs. San Rafael at San Rafael


3.05 Miles
San Rafael HS
Tamalpais showed their complete dominance on both the girls and boys side, living up to their high NCS D-IV rankings.
The girls, led by Freshman phenom Olivia Heitz have a 1-7 spread that could prove to turn the heads around MCAL and NCS this season.
Olivia was dominant in a stellar time of 21:39 on this hard, undulating, hilly course, with her teammate Nicole Ludwig just a few seconds back (21:44).
On the boys, Tamalpais shined and showed they are ready to rock the scene again.  Defending D-IV State Champ Dan Milechman in his debut of the 2010 season showed his talent and form with an incredible time of 16:12, far outdistancing his nearest competition, teammate James MacDonald (17:00).
The Tam School District of DR, RED,and TAM continue to produce stellar individuals and teams every year and should blaze a path again in 2010.

Catching up with Santa Cruz HS coach, Greg Brock...

Today we chat with Santa Cruz HS coach Greg Brock although in the online running community (flotrack, letsrun etc.) he has come to be known as Maggie Vessey's coach.  While he has had recent success with Maggie, Greg has long been known in the high school running community as a very successful coach.  He was a great runner in his own right as you will see below including holding several distance running records at Stanford University and finishing 5th in the 1972 Olympic Trials marathon.  Greg continues to be a student of the sport and is definitely one of the most approachable coaches around.  

1)  How did you get your start in running?  What was it that got you hooked to running?
After getting a lot of bench time in freshman football and baseball and plenty of time to think and realize that my talents didn't lie there, I went out for cross country as a sophomore.  I really wanted a varsity letter and figured anyone could work hard and accompish that goal.  This was in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  Over the course of the season I worked up from about 13th man to 6th in our last 3 races leading up to State Meet.  By the coaches point system, I should have run at the State Meet.  However, the coach chose a senior over me.  I vowed to myself that would never happen to me again.  I also felt so good being in shape, and that I had found my physical fitness vehicle - a sport in which to excel.

2)  What were some of your high school accomplishments?  College?  Post college?
High school.  Went to State Meet in California junior and senior years.  High School times: 1:57.6y, mile 4:19.8, and 9:13.2.  College: At one time held 2mile 8:45.2, 3 mile 13:36.4 and 6 mile 29:01 school records at Stanford.  All have long since been destroyed and don't even merit all-time top 10 list.  Made all American in cross country in 68 and 69. Placed 5th in 10,000 in '68.  Post college:  ran 28:53.6 in 10,000 at Nationals in '72.  Placed 5th in Olympic Trials marathon in '72 running 2:22:29.6.  Ran until age 50 at a fairly high recreational level.

3)  Looking back at your own training, what do you feel like really worked for you?  What didn't work?
What really worked was consistency, a blend of distance and repitition running. What didn't work was trying to run too many miles.  85-90 and once in a while a bump up because of an extra long run was best for me.  120-130 was too much.

4)  What led you to coaching and where did you get your start in coaching?  Where else have you coached besides Santa Cruz HS?
I really loved running and wanted to share the positive experience with other people.  I was helping runners from other schools when I was still in high school.  I coached at Cabrillo College for 16 years after my first 7 years at Santa Cruz HS, I cross country season at UCSC where I coached Armando Siquieros.  14 years with the Santa Cruz Track Club.

5)  What coaches do you consider to be your mentors that have been the biggest influences in who you are as a coach?
My first two coaches in Portsmouth, New Hampshire were both very good,  Leonard Martin at Norte Del Rio was very good.  I was kind of coachless in some ways senior year of high school and first two years of college.  However, it has been pointed out to me that I learned how not to coach in those 3 years.  Marshall Clark was a savior to our Stanford team in many ways.  I learned the most important thing in being a good coach is to be a good person.

6)  As a young coach, what runners do you remember that gave you the confidence that you were on the right track in terms of training?
My two standout athletes from my early years at Santa Cruz HS were John  Rembao and Terry Schneider.  John is coaching at Cal and is outstanding and I now learn things from him.  Terry is a dynamo.  After a discouraging experience trying to run at Cal Poly, she became a triathalete and was one of the top iron person triatheletes in the world.  From there, she went to adventure races, mountaineering etc.  She coaches and was a professional athlete for many years.

7)  From your first few years in coaching to now, what have been some of the biggest changes in training distance runners?
I think the biggest change has been the addition of planned, controlled tempo runs.  Changing the warm-up from static stretching to dynamic is another big one.

8)  From your perspective, what do you feel are the keys to preparing runners to race well in cross country?
If you want to be successful in cross country you have to train during the summer.  It doesn't have to be all running, cross training can make an aerobic contribution.  All around fitness is important in my opinion.  Training specificity is important to learn the technique of running cross country.

9)  Tell us a little bit when you first noticed Maggie Vessey's talents and how you eventually ended up coaching her.
I watched Maggie run as a freshman in high school and made a point of watching her run at CCS.  It was obvious then that she was a rare talent.  I just observed and followed her career in high school and college.  Then after her negative experience in Southern California, she was trying to put her running career back together.  I saw her finish her workout at Soquel HS before our Wednesday night Santa Cruz Track Club workout and asked how things were going.  She said she was looking for a coach.  I realized she was asking me.  Sure, why not I said.  6 months later she got 5th at the Olympic trials 800. 

10)  Do you feel like you have become a better coach by coaching her?  If yes, how so?
First of all, working with Maggie validated many of my training methods.  Coaching Maggie has been a very positive and challenging experience.  I have learned many new things as a result and this makes one a better coach. 

11)  What advice would you give young coaches that are just starting out?
Following up on the earlier theme, keep learning and don't get stuck.  You have to be a people person and not just try to win.  You have to appreciate all your athletes as people without regard to talent.  Our sport is all about getting people to come out and try it.  You have to recruit and sell the sport and it is not easy by any means and that is certainly my biggest challenge.

12)  Anything else you would like to add.
As many others have said. I love your site and appreciate your passion for the sport and helping everyone involved.  I am always picking up new things perspective or review by following this site.  So, keep up the great work. Greg

Thank you very much for your time Greg!  AJC

Catching up with San Lorenzo Valley coach, Rob Collins...

Today we chat with San Lorenzo Valley coach, Rob Collins.  He had an immediate impact at SLV when he started there in the late 90s.  His girls' teams have won 4 California state championships during his tenure at SLV.  You can check out other accomplishments by his cross country and track and field teams below.  Both of his teams are ranked in the top 15 in CCS this year and both will be contenders for state meet berths come championship season in Division IV.

1)  How did you get your start in running?  What were some of your early successes?
I started running in 6th grade at Lincoln park elementary in Portland, Oregon. I would say it came naturally for me I guess. Back then we ran 1200m. To this day, I still hold the 6th grade and  8th grade 1200m District and Multnomah county records I ran 1200m in 3:43 in the 6th grade and improved 10 seconds per year.  I remember my very first loss my freshman year on the track that was to  Dub Meyers of Park Rose High school.  He was a senior that year and went on to University of Oregon.
 
2)  What were some of your achievements in high school?  College and beyond?

I had a really rough year my freshman year in high school. My parents divorced and I chose to live with my father. I started running at Centennial high school, for a few weeks, then we moved across town and went to Gresham High school and continued running XC there.  When the season ended, we moved again to another local high school David Douglas High school in Portland and started Track there but that didn't last too long and moved again that spring back to Centennial High school and remained there next 3.5 years.  It was hard for me at that time to commit to have friends not knowing what would happen next. So I put a lot of focus on my running because it felt like it was my world where I could be free! As an athlete I had qualified all 4 years to the  State XC Championships, Placing 28th my freshman year, 12th sophmore year, 6th junior year and Runner-up My Senior to Brad Hudson in 84. I accomplished the same feat all through Track by Qualifying 4 four years in the 3000m which was my preferred distance at the time. I took a lot of 6th places, I felt like I didn't have the kick to stay with the group the last 300m. Which I feel makes me more of a middle distance coach these days. I never got to run the 800m too often-just 3 times in high school. Freshman 2:02.1, Soph 1:58.1, Senior year 1:56. So I always felt personally that if I had worked on the shorter distance I would had been able to have had a kick back then. It's a whole different area when you want to be an elite high school runner. 

I had missed 9 weeks my junior year of Track due to a very bad syst that kept me in the hospital for a week The operation left me healing from the inside out. So if I ran, it would open up on me.  The doctors would not release me to run until a week prior to the League Track Championship. I wanted still run the Championships to qualify for state regardless and I felt because I was the defending league champion, I belonged there. With a week of training behind me I ran 4:00.1 in the 1500m for 2nd and won the 3000m just under 8:50 to qualify for State. I had to decided to run both because I had nothing to lose anyway because under the circumstances, I had already accomplished my goal. So I really didn't care how I did. That was a life memory that I will never forget! I didn't run In college. I was suppose to head down to Taft College in 85 to run but things had changed for me and was scared to move. So I stayed home and went to Mt. Hood Community college and ran there. Didn't do much there. Biggest accomplishment there was winning the Regional Championship. Running was slowly falling apart for me at that time! So I decided to join the Army instead. I took 3 years off from running until I met Brian Appell in Germany and started getting back into It. The next thing I was running on the All-Army Team for a year until I got out and ended back up in Gresham Oregon! Sorry for being so long but you asked!


3)  Where did you get your start in coaching?  What were some of your highlights at that school?
I first started Coaching in the Fall of 92 to the Spring of  97 at Sandy High school in Sandy, Oregon. Accomplishments were winning the boys first ever League XC Championshipsin 94, 95 and 96. Coaching State Champion Pamela Johnson (96) 3000m 10:13, (97) 9:59 a Pr of 9:52, and (97) 1500m 4:31.32, Robert Rivers, a runner-up 1500m in 96, And Brian Halstead 800m Runner-up in 96. State Champion in (97) 400m 48.18. He was disqualified and was not able to compete in the 800m at league championships. I had wished to this day I had stayed for his senior year to coach him!

4)  Who were your coaching mentors?
Coaching mentors for me included Greg Letts Centennial High School he ended up being a father figure that I needed deeply at that time! He is still coaching at this time! Brian Appell who brought me back into running world in Germany and I would say Greg Gustafson from Portland, Oregon!


5)  How did you end up coaching at San Lorenzo Valley?
I moved to the Valley for a business situation me and my wife went into at that time. We had become owner operators of Grocery Outlet in Felton in the Summer of 98.  When we first moved, I had never planned on getting into coaching at all. But it was, I would say in my blood, so I went up to SLV just to help out and volunteer two days a week.

6)  From your first few years there, who were some of the runners that helped change the culture of the team to a winning one?

This is a easy question, for sure Alejandra Barrientos, I saw a young lady with a lot of talent and I took her to the side and just started coaching her. Then After that from Shiloh Whiting , Raquel Barrientos, Hillary Scwhartzbach, Jenny Lewis, Lindsey Scharborough, Emily Romo, Stephanie Hamilton, Deane sister's Kelle, Lindsey and Allison and of Course Taylor Johnson and then Alex Dunn, Russell Bush, Chris Proffitt and Allan Hetke. 
It just became the thing to do up in the Valley for awhile. I think the hardest thing we've had to adjust to is we used to be 1100+ student body now we are 700+. But I love being a small fish in a big pond!


7)  What have been some of your team's achievements at SLV in Cross Country (league, section and state titles)?
+League Championship 5, It's nice having a rival like Aptos. I have a lot of respect for Dan Gruber even if he doesn't know it!
+CCS Championships 7 Girls and 1 for the Boys.
+ State Championships 4 State Titles, 2 State runner-ups teams and 3 others in the top 7.
+ Alejandra Barrientos Individual State Champion 99, Footlocker Qualifier in 1999
+ Alex Dunn State Champion 2002, Runner 2003, Footlocker Qualifier in 2003  
+ Taylor Johnson State Runner-up 2005


8)  What about track and field highlights for your teams and individuals?
+ High School National Record Girls Distance Medley Relay in 2000.
+ Alejandra Barrientos 1600m CCS Champion 1999,2000 and 2001
+ Alejandra Barrientos 1600m State Champion 1999 and 2001
+ Alejandra Barrientos 1600m Indoor National Champion 2000
+ Alejandra Barrientos 1500m Outdoor Junior National Champion 1999
+ Alex Dunn 1600m CCS Champion 2003
+ Taylor Johnson 1600m CCS Champion 2006,2007 and 2008


9)  What do you feel are some of advantages of training in the area around San Lorenzo Valley HS? 

We are in a very fortunate area, a lot of trails and hills just 50yds from the new all-weather put in 2006, Fall Creek.  We can easly go out and run a 6 to 10 miles behind the school. Then having Henry Cowell State park a Mile down the road. We are very lucky so I just use what I have around me!  
It's just a great area for tempo's, long run or hill workouts or even me catching the kids soaking in Fall Creek when they are suppose to be running or in San Lorenzo River!  
 

10)  You have had several state championship teams in cross country.  What do you feel are the keys to performing well at the state meet on the Woodward Park course?

I've always felt that you don't over-race in October as that is the last chance to get some great training in for November to carry on the base. Usually the flu season also hits. So, it's also the right time to rest those individuals. I've always felt that to prepare for the State Meet, the coach should trust his instincts and also listen to their athletes. Trust always goes a long way on both sides! Show them that you care for them like I feel I do. They might be my athletes now but they will always be my friends later! The course-just have a good plan with it, make sure your athletes understand what there role is and their goal. Just be happy regardless what happens! You are there aren't you! A lot of others are not, so be happy what you have accomplished!


11)  What is your advice for young coaches just starting out with their first team?

Advice for young coaches! Be patient!  Get as much advice as you can from other coaches. Make sure that your athletes know what you are doing keep them involved. Get their trust and you'll get their's. Have a lot of fun. This year, on Saturdays when we don't have a meet, we always go out for breakfast, taking 20+ kids to a local restaurant which is quite funny and watching the boys eat all you can eat is another! Just being a team is very Important!


12)  Anything else you would like to add.

I would just like to thank my wife Carmen.  She's has been battling cancer the last couple of years. I'm just glad everything is getting back to normal.  I would also like to thank all the parents who have helped us a lot these last few years. Thank You!     

Thank you very much for your time Rob!  AJC
