How it all began...
In August 2010, a small group of local runners gathered under the guidance of coaches Kevin and Shelley Hooper. In the 10 years that followed, the Coyotes became recognized as one of the top middle distance and distance clubs in Ontario, consistently bringing home local, provincial and national medals. This program consistently had the top runners qualifying for OFSAA track and cross country championships. The club has had nationally ranked runners, sent kids off to university on scholarships, and even developed a national junior cross country champion, who represented the Coyotes, our community and Canada at the World Cross Country Championships in China.
One of the key focus areas of the teams' success over the years was promoting team spirit, acceptance of all athletes at all levels, and celebrating the countless personal best performances each year. This remains a key focus of the club today, and we continue to see high levels of excellence among our dedicated athletes.
