Go with God Coach, thanks for the memories

Todd gave me a chance to run for Tech. I may not have been a Hokie if not for him. He took a chance on a less talented but hardworking Juco. I will always be in his debt.
One of my favorite memories is from the State meet. All of the Virginia Universities used to compete for a state title. In the race, I was the 5th and final scoring runner with about a half-mile to go. Todd is on the side screaming "if he beats you we lose by 1". I felt my hair stand on end as I never looked back. We won.
I'm not fast, but that day, I was fast enough.
Thanks for the memories Coach.
