Yesterday was the last cross country meet for the Sunnyvale Middle School Spartans.
Their fearless coach, Coach K (as the kids have nicknamed Andie), is in the center of this photo (sorry it's so dark). She looks like one of the students. But Coach K is the only one sporting sunglasses!
Andie's not a novice coach anymore after training the Fisher Middle School kids last year. So the Sunnyvale squad has been lucky to have her around. Based on my observation, the thing the students like about Andie as their coach is her optimism. And, the fact that she doesn't just send them off on runs, she joins them! Go SMS Spartans! Go Coach K!
