  1. Great job to both of you.

    Trenton Hall has been my daughters coach for both Cross Country and Track. He has been an awesome coach who always goes the extra mile. He works hard (an long hours), is good to the kids, and helps them become better people and better athletes. Thanks Trenton for all you do! It is great to see a good man honored like this!
