After his team shattered the state 4x800 record and etching their name at #2 All-Time in the United States last weekend, Coach Chris George is still on a high. His Charlotte High School distance crew had high expectations all year long and some were starting to question if they'd be able to put it all together and live up to the hype. They did. Peaking just right, more than a month after the state meet, wasn't easy but they fought to a second place finish of 7:30 at New Balance Outdoor battling with Long Beach Poly to both break the old national high school record.
This is a three part series of the 25 minute interview with Coach George via Skype. In part three, we rehash the battle with Long Beach Poly while simultaneously battling some internet connection wars... finally resorting to iPhone to finish the interview! But it's a good call and hope you enjoy...
