I met him and his inner city X-C team at a distance camp in Colorado back in the mid 70s. They won state at least once back then. He did a great job with alot of kids from broken homes and tough backgrounds; getting them out for X-C and staying out of trouble. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about him these days.
last seen being sucked into a ufo over the estrella mountains.
Joe Ehlers lives in Phoenix, Arizona. Approaching age 75 and still jogging, walking, and running some. Many state championships were won after Colorado trips. He even had success at the Junior College level with inner city runners. While in high school, Joe ran in the state meet cross country for 4 years and in his second year, the state meet record was set with a total of 37 points. That record was held from 1955 to 1986 in which Joe's runners set a state record of 32 points-which is still unbroken. He would love to hear from the Colorado camp individual that wrote to him. He has remarked on many occasions about the wonderful times for the young men he took to Colorado and the great people he met at these camps. God Bless Keep Running. Joe is still involved with many of these runners even today. Finally, He was inducted into the State of Arizona Coaches Hall of Fame. Hana
True champlon for kids win or lose. Becoming rare these days. BB Andrews of Stafford has done an amazing job with those kids for the past 30+ years in track and field.
Awesome coach and man, ran at South Mountain high school back in the early 80's. Great times running those trails at south mountain park, all good memories, as we always said Hana!!!!!!!!!
