From Coach Prantner

As Outdoor Track is starting today, I thought it would be appropriate to send out a brief message about my future with the Yorktown running (Track and Cross Country) teams.  Beginning with this outdoor season I have decided to step down from coaching in order to, among other things, spend more time with my own kids (including coaching their youth athletic teams).  This is not a rash decision, but one that I have been considering for some time now.

Over the past 19 years I have had the great privilege of being a part of the coaching staff of the Yorktown Track and Cross Country teams.  Most of these years I was an assistant, and this year I took over as head Cross Country Coach.  I have coached some talented athletes over the years, but more importantly I have gotten to work with so many amazing people.  I have also gotten to coach with several people, who are not only my colleagues, but also I consider my friends.

I want to thank all the parents and student-athletes who have made my coaching experience so great.  I will always love Track/Cross Country, and I will miss being around the sport every day.  But it is working/interacting with the athletes that I will truly miss the most.  I also want to thank Coach Stripe for giving a former Wakefield Warrior the opportunity to coach at Yorktown over the last 19 years.  I would also like to thank Mike Krulfeld for giving me the chance to lead the Cross Country program this past Fall.

I am not done with Track and Field.  I fully intend to get back into coaching at some point down the road.  Afterall, I have about 50 more years of coaching to equal the years Coach Stripe has been coaching.
