Congratulations to legendary @IonaXCTF and @BadgerTrackXC coach Mick Byrne on an incredible career!
For almost a quarter century until 2008, Byrne built Iona into a national cross country powerhouse, setting a standard of excellence that still defines the program today.
Wishing Mick all the best in retirement!
