Former
York Community High School (Elmhurst, IL) assistant cross country coach
Charlie Kern came to the Super Distance Summit as an accomplished
runner and masters coach. Now in his 40s, he is still quick enough to
pace the mile at the Midwest Distance Gala every June. Charlie was Joe
Newton's right hand man for over a decade and eventually took over as
track coach when Mr Newton retired from coaching in the spring in the
early 2000s.
This could be Coach Newton's secret to success. Charlie says that the kids will never get excited to work hard if the coach isn't excited himself.
