who coached ernie shepard in high school?
Not sure but he went to Wren High School, in Piedmont. I can look into it for you though.
I'm not sure who was coaching at Wren HS, but his club coach was Dave Wamer (I believe that's the right spelling)with the Greenville Track Club. I think Dave was his primary coach throughout the year.
i heard ernie did not run with any of his teamates while at wren. they say that he trained on his own and had some kind of personal coach, like that guy above said. i don't think his teamates were too fond of hime either. say, how did he turn out in college and there after?
Wren's head track coach in 1986, when Ernie was a sophomore, was Jeff Tate, according to the Palmetto's Finest 1985-86 yearbook.
The team was runner-up, so that's why his name is listed. Wren didn't win or finish second in the next two years so those coach(es) are unavailable.
Trivia question: When Ernie set the state 3200 mark of 8:56.09, who was (a very distant, 10:04) second?
Hint: He's now a college coach in N.C.
In fall of 1987, Ernie's senior year when Wren was state-runner-up, Wren's head cross country coach was Sandy Addis.

He ran for Texas, the team was really arrogant back then. Course they did get 4th at nationals in cros one year. I don't know if he ever earned an all american in college.
