Look. Our familial support for meets is nothing short of phenomenal. As coaches, we never cease to appreciate this.
Sophomore Mike Nicoletti's dad, Bill, went above and beyond today, and for that we are grateful.
Mr. Nicoletti called to give me expert advice on traffic in and around the course. Leaving his Long Island home before dawn, he navigated successfully through what we had to deal with, and his advice pretty much enabled us to get to Lehigh on time.
And, his on-site assistance helped us get to the starting line on time!
Since he was there (and we were not), I called Bill and asked him to pick up our meet packet. And I had him buy some extra spikes for the guys that didn't have theirs. When we arrived on site, he met us with the packet and the valuable quarter-inch pins, saving us the extra few minutes and enabling us to pull off getting to the race on time. Barely.
It was, and is, much appreciated.
If a middle-aged dad can earn "bro" status, I vote for Mr. Nicoletti as a Marist Running Dad Bro.
Nicely done!
