The 2010 season should be the Quistas best season yet. With a solid pack of returnees in Lauren Kelly, Kalah St. Pierre, Brittnie Bennett and Megan Ibison the team should be the strongest yet. Brittany Colvin is back and stronger than ever after some injuries and the 2010 freshman are some of the best in the area. With Colleen McAuliffe’s magnificent track season she should be one of the team’s top runners. Tierra Monroe joins us from Lake Region High School to help out the strong leading pack. Overall the team should be in contention to be in the top 20 of the nation.
This is the teams sixth year under Coach Wachtel who started the program in July 2005. A former local high school runner with collegiate running experience, Wachtel still enjoys running and races in most of the local competitions. She graduated from Ohio University after four cross country, indoor and outdoor seasons with a BA in Secondary Education Mathematics. Recently she graduated from USF with a Master’s in Biostatistics. Her husband is a football coach at the local high school and their biggest fan is one year old daughter Madeline. Coach Steve Winterling is the assistant coach and also the head baseball coach. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the program as well as his enthusiasm for running.
If you are interested in joining the team, please contact Coach Jacki Wachtel at 727-816-3397 or wachtej at phcc dot edu.
