@Coach_Meade Say it isn't so. Liberty will miss a good one.

@BarstoolGruden @GorillasFB Their Track and Field program is pretty stellar as well. Great video

@LIBERTYTF I believe that converts to a 4:12.9 1600

Todd Yeates is the very definition of determination and competitive toughness. Todd's strong will to succeed is a habit that will take him far in life. Todd had a historic meet with an All-State 4:13.3 in the 1600 and came back with a school record All-State 9:06.53 in the 3200.

The Athletic All-State Wall is being transformed, & all plaques have been taken down. A new format is coming. I grabbed a bunch from athletes I have worked with. If you or someone you know would like to have yours, private message me and we can figure out a time to get together.

My last long run with runners took me to my old stomping grounds. Any ideas where I am?

[Robert Marquardt @robmarquardtxc]

Most importantly I am grateful for the fond memories of friendships I made along the way. I was fortunate to work with amazing people of integrity that had a strong impact on me as a husband, father and as a person. Looking forward to my next chapter in life.

After 42 years of coaching, I have decided to hang up my whistle and stopwatch. Being a Track and Cross Country coach was very rewarding. It was an incredible ride and I'm taking away some amazing experiences.

@myCTsports @LHSBlueJays @jaysvb Liberty's losing a good one. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

@LHSBlueJays @PrepsKC @LHSJAYS @810varsity @metrosports_mk Congratulations to Coach Frigon, his coaching staff and all student athletes. What an impressive run.

[Robert Marquardt @robmarquardtxc]

One of the joys of coaching is watching former LHS runners continue their running career at the next level and being successful. All 3 scored for their respective teams.

I took this picture of a rainbow from the State bus. My cohort Jordan English thrives on competition and said the picture he took was far superior. I posted both and let the viewers decide

[Robert Marquardt @robmarquardtxc]

One of the fastest 4 x 800s I can recall. 8 teams under 8:00. The team of Connor Nicholson, Jace Graham, Patrick Cleary and Jaeger Hicks secured a spot on the podium by placing 5th. Proud of this group.

[Robert Marquardt @robmarquardtxc]

A time honored tradition is doing our pre-meet at the MKT trail in Columbia Mo. Ran to the chorus of Cicadas this year. They almost stepped on a juvenile black rat snake. I was running behind them. I think they should have laid their body over the snake to protect their coach.

[Robert Marquardt @robmarquardtxc]

Peyton took third on hot blistery day to qualify In a 3200 two years. in a row.

[Robert Marquardt @robmarquardtxc]

These young men punched their way to State by placing third in an extremely competitive field. PRs from Patrick Cleary (left) 1:56 and Connor Nicholson (right) with a time 1:54.004
Watch out school record.
