Congratulations Dave Smith on your retirement from many years of coaching Junior High Cross Country.
The Home meet on Thursday was Dave’s last one after coaching for about 38 years. It was a successful meet with both the Boys and Girls Junior High teams finishing in 2nd place. Pictured with him are his current teams plus several former runners who he has coached over the years. Thank you Dave for all you have done for the FORT over the year!
