He is the head Wahlert girls' track coach and they were STATE CHAMPIONS this past weekend! It is the first time in school history that the girls have won the state track & field championship. They were the runner-up the last 2 years, so of course a state title has been something they have been chasing & working towards the last couple of years.
During the state meet, they won 3 relay titles and set 4 new school records, and beat the 2nd place team by over 30 points. They scored points in almost every event. It was a very exciting weekend. The team is a really special group of girls, and it's fun to watch them compete. I was able to watch the 3rd and final day of the meet, and traveled there with Tim's dad, sister Jolene, & brother-in-law Bob.

Tim & Chuck have been coaching together for seven years now. Since they started coaching together, they have been re-writing the record book as they have seen 14 school records broken! They complement each other very well. The weekend was also special because Chuck was recognized for coaching high school track in Iowa for 25 years.
I felt so excited to be there as they made school history, but also SO PROUD of Tim. He & Chuck work so hard planning their season, their strategy, and every single workout and meet line-up. They put their hearts & souls into coaching track so that their athletes can perform like the true champions they are! :)
