WEBER
THROWS
I have been coaching shot and discus in the Anoka Hennepin School District for the past 28 years. I pattern my coaching philosophy after the great John Wooden:
"Do your best! And when things go wrong: don't complain or look for blame, just
keep moving forward.”
Coon Rapids High School is a special place to be both as a coach and athlete. CRHS has a rich tradition in its Track and Field program and we are looking to add to that tradition in the 2023 season! Go Cards!
