What an amazing and pleasant surprise to see our old friend and Marist XC legend Rich Stevens, in town from San Diego for a few days. First, he stopped by the McCann Center on Monday and then he was back at the Vassar track on Wednesday to watch practice and meet the team and tell old stories about his glory days of coaching the team from 1972-1980 (and then again from 1987-1990). Rich will be the first to admit that his 8-year run in the 1970s was what he'll always remember and of which he has the most pride. Those teams were GREAT. Rich was an outstanding coach and he remains loyal to our school and our program. Fun fact: He coached and/or recruited Gary Wiesinger (father of Ian) and Tim Dearie (father of Brendan). Small world!
