The two long time coaches at UC Davis, Dee and Jon Vochatzer, retired in 2010. Jon was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. In the middle of his chemo treatments, Dee was suddenly found to have colon cancer and it is very serious. Jon had to postpone his own treatment to care for Dee.
I felt this was newsworthy for letsrun, since they are two coaches who held their positions at UC Davis for 20 years, and are well known.
When they retired in 2010, an interim coach, Byron Talley was named. This summer, Talley left and was replaced by distance coach Drew Wartenburg. Not sure if this is an interim hire or permanent.
