A message from the new Clark Montessori Cross Country Coach:
Hey team!
I’m thrilled to introduce myself as your new head coach. As a proud Clark Montessori alum who ran cross country and track here, and having coached distance the past two seasons on the track team, I’m excited to step into this role. For those I’ve worked with, I’m looking forward to continuing; for everyone, let’s keep the momentum! I want the transition from Nick to me to be smooth, and Cole Perry, who was the assistant coach last year, is helping me transition into this season. You can reach Cole at [email protected].
Summer conditioning starts Tuesday, June 9th at Clark—Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 8 a.m. We’ll rotate locations, with Ault Park as a favorite.
Please come prepared with proper running shoes—good footwear keeps you healthy and performing at your best. I’m happy to advise anyone who needs help.
If you have any questions or issues, feel free to reach out! Let’s make it a great season!
Coach JD Ray
