Who has Guru status in running world?

Joe Douglas

Clyde Hart

Bob Sevene

Bert and Cordner Nelson

Name the coach..

Hint:

1. He won multiple 5A state championships as track and cross coach

2. Moved to NJCAA and won multiple National Championships in the 4 years he was there. This school had never won a NC in track before his arrival.

3. Moved up to D1. Head coach of both men and women. Was the first and only coach to win both the men and women titles. Women won 11 straight outdoor titles.

4. Said coach moved to another D1 school that had never won a title. In 4th year won. Won both men and women 3 years straight.

So got to be a guru in my humble opinion

Dr. Kenneth Cooper (“Aerobics”).

Best Dressed Award winner too!
