about coach harry weaver

In his 47 years of experience, he has had the opportunity to be a part of training Olympic Athletes, coaching young runners up through graduation, and mentoring youth from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. He’s had sixteen high school seniors become coaches of a major college, university, high school or track club. Over 80% of his high school seniors are enrolled or have graduated from colleges throughout the United States with the assistance of a scholarship. Personally, his biggest passion is to see track and field used as a tool to invest into the lives of kids, help them succeed in and out of school, and reach higher learning.
