Jason Grady, coach of the year

We were very proud to pick up Sunday’s Poughkeepsie Journal and see that Marist Running alum Jason Grady was named the newspaper’s Girls Cross Country Coach of the Year. Since Jason has taken over at his high school alma mater of Rhinebeck, he has restored the program to the success it achieved when he was a championship-caliber runner for them more than a decade ago.

Here is some information that was printed on Jason, courtesy of the Poughkeepsie Journal:

Vital stats: Grady coached the boys and girls teams to unbeaten dual-meet records during the regular season. The girls won the Mid-Hudson Athletic League title and finished fourth at the state meet.

Quotable: “For the girls, I was obviously very happy with the 12-0 record and winning the MHAL meet with one of our best meets,” Grady said. “As for the boys, they had a very good year. They’re a highly dedicated team. I will miss the seniors on the team.”


Good stuff, Coach. Keep up the great work!
