We are thrilled to announce @cortbasham as our new Head Cross Country Coach for @Purple_Striders !

[cort basham @cortbasham]

I am so honored & excited to serve as head coach! I helped start lots of @bgisd Elementary run clubs 10 years ago. Helped as an assistant with Jr High and BGHS in recent years. I LOVE BGISD!

My favorite definition of fun is "doing hard things well." Distance running? BIG FUN! :)
