Coach Horn shared heartfelt sentiments, stating, “It has been an incredible honor to coach each of these athletes this season and witness their commitment to self-improvement. Running is a solitary sport that challenges the mind, and I couldn’t be prouder of their dedication. Thank you, runners, for the early morning laughs, tears, and even the complaints. Watching you take off from the line each morning is truly the highlight of my day. I appreciate this opportunity and eagerly look forward to next season!”
