Hope this is not true. Coached me my senior year of high school for our outdoor 4 by 4. Was the only state championship I ever won in high school. I was the only distance runner on the squad and he was incredibly helpful with developing my talent. He had a great impact on my running career, I don’t think I would’ve made the switch to the 800 full time if it wasn’t for him. If you google “how to run a 400” his video has almost 1 million views. This man knew his stuff and could’ve easily been a D1 coach. RIP coach Thomas, you were a great man and talented coach.
Latif was so good for the sport. He spread the gospel of sprinting and simplified it for high school athletes. He helped hunders of coaches who in turn helped thousands of athletes. RIP Latif.
I can't believe it. Gone way before his time. Does anyone know what happened?
any more info on this? so, so sad. I believe he was only around mid 40s.
