One. Big. Thank. YOU!

Dear Riverside athletes, parents, coaches, and friends!

As the season comes to an end, I want to take a minute to say THANK YOU. As many of you know, this was my last season with Riverside as I take time away to spend more time with my family especially the littlest one of all Coach Tony!

Over the last 13 years I have had the best job in the world, coaching. And since 2015 when Riverside opened my job got even better as I got to be part of starting a program and seeing it grow over the years. I have truly loved coaching each of you. The miles together, the laughs, the highs and lows have all been very special to me and I will always remember those times together. As I have stated a number of times, each of you are part of my extended RAMily and I hope that we can continue to keep in touch. I also hope that you continue to run, race, and enjoy many more miles to come.

Thank YOU one last time for everything. It has truly been a pleasure.

Please keep in touch- riversidexctf@gmail.com

I look forward seeing many of you again soon at local meets, races, on the trail, and out and about.

Last but not least, I am excited to say that I know good things are coming your way with some great coaches taking over to the lead the Rams!

Go Rams.

-Coach G and Coach Tony
