What are the success stories

Casey Smith was one of the first athletes I worked with that had already had success. She was a Division III All American in the 10K and was looking to continue to run after college. I think I started coaching her in 2002 but I am not sure. In the first year we talked about her trying to qualify for the olympic marathon trials. She ran the Chicago marathon in 2003 but it was not going well and I pulled her off the course at mile 18. We decided to try again a few weeks later at Philadelphia and she ran 2:54 - not good enough for the trials but we knew she could run much faster.
