Head Women’s XC/ Asst. Track Coach @CalPolyTrack_XC

[Michelle Chewens @CoachMChewy]

3 titles, 8 medals and 92 points scored this weekend at Big West. Almost doubled what we scored as a group in 2024.

A brutal 1.5 pts shy of a team title, but these ladies left it all on the track and I couldn’t be more proud to be their coach 🐎💚
