The great coach Norm Higgins coached the great Jan Merril and Liz Muller as well as many other great runners. Norm had also had much success in his own running career. What is Norm doing today, who is he coaching? Last I heard he was working in the summer with a girl from Groton, two boys from Waterford one in still in high school and deveolping another who is starting college, and Kelly's grand kid. Does anyone know who these kids are and how they are doing?
Oh God let's hope not!!!!!
I agree with Ray......Norm has ruined more people than he has ever helped. Jan Merrill never enjoyed any aspect of running; Liz Mueller was wrecked before college and found boxing more to her liking; Jill Akus was a sweet kid and a 3 time state XC champion who was wrecked by Norm; there are plenty more. He latches on to any junior high runner that shows potential. If he has Kelley's grandson under his wraps already, that will be the last we hear of that kid as well.
Norm's no hero. Quite far from it. Marc Bloom did a NY Times story on the Liz Muller situation a few years back, and Higgins came off as a pretty irresponsible destructive force
He seems to be the Kiss of (Athletic) Death.
