Building a dynasty in Rhinebeck

Check out the following link to today's outstanding Poughkeepsie Journal article by my old colleague and pal Phil Strum. Phil writes about Marist alum Jason Grady and the powerhouse track program he is building at his alma mater in Rhinebeck. The article mentions Jason and his brother Jeff, another Marist Running alum, as well as Matt Pool, the current Dover coach and former Marist runner.

As I have noted before, it's great to see Marist Running alums coaching and having success at it.

It should be noted that Mr. Bucket (Dave Swift) has quietly done the same thing down the road at Spackenkill High School for more than a decade now. One of his Spartans, who also happens to be an avid blog follower, will be joining our team in the fall. Also, today is Mr. Bucket's birthday! Go on Facebook or whatever and wish him a happy 50th birthday. (Oh! He's really not 50; I think he is 36? 38? Help me out, Billy!)

Hope to see some of you tonight at Vassar ...
