ThisWeek group
After spending the last two seasons as the Hartley girls cross country coach, Jim McKay is excited about what he might be able to bring to the girls track and field program this spring.
McKay, who previously coached with the New World Track Club in Columbus, competed collegiately for the University of Washington and coached cross country at a high school in Seattle before relocating to central Ohio about two decades ago.
“I’ve been the head cross country coach (at Hartley) for two years and last year I was an assistant coach (for girls track), but the season only lasted three weeks,” McKay said. “This is kind of new in a lot of ways, but it’s actually been going really well. We have a lot of talent.”
