Your Pirate Middle School Cross Country coaches are Barb and Tim Young. We coached together at Sunset from 2005-2011. Before that, Barb was the assistant coach at Marshfield High School. Barb has been participating in long distance running since high school, which was a very long time ago! She ran cross country and track at Marshfield High School and at Linfield College. She is a regular participant in South Coast Running Club races here on the south coast, and has run a couple marathons. Tim came to long distance running later in life, as he was a sprinter, hurdler, and jumper at Marshfield. Now, he also participates in Club runs and has run 3 marathons. We have four grown children who all ran cross country and track and swam for Marshfield. Our running goals are: Have fun, and eat some goodies occasionally! We think running is a lifetime activity, and should be approached from a long-term perspective.
