Coach Soles’s complete bio is below.  Two stats that sticks out: “In 2013 he coached 47 girls under 6:00 for 1600, and 40 boys under 5:00” and “This past track season he had 3 girls break 4:50 for the 1600 in the same race, going 4:44, 4:45, and 4:48!”

We’re so excited that Coach Soles has shared three months of his training with us.  We will have his interview and Q&A up shortly.
