Meet the Team

How it all began...

​In August 2010, a small group of local runners gathered under the guidance of coaches Kevin and Shelley Hooper.  Within a year the club had exploded to over 40 runners and within a few years the Coyotes had 80 runners on their roster.  In the 10 years from August 2010 to August 2020, the Coyotes became recognized as one of the top middle distance and distance clubs in Ontario, consistently bringing home local, provincial and national medals as well.  

One of the key focus areas of the teams success was promoting team spirit, acceptance of all athletes at all levels, and celebrating the countless personal best performances each year.  This program consistently had our top runners qualifying for OFSAA track and cross country championships, being nationally ranked, sending kids off to university on scholarships, and even developing a national junior cross country champion, who represented the Coyotes, our community and Canada at the World Cross Country Championships in China.
