The COLUMBIA track program is an embarrassment to the school and the community. The administration needs to put a stop to the current coaches, who are only worried about their ego by sending these kids to meet, with no chance of success. Finish the Section 3 season out and don't let then go to any ore invitationals, leagues or districts. Get rid of the current coaches and bring people in who actually care about all of the kids, not just certain ones.
First, let me ask why you would punish an athlete who worked hard, and Qualified for leagues, invitationals or districts to forfiet their opportunity they earned? That is just ignorace on YOUR part and I think you do not understand how the sport works. As far as coaches are concerned, if you would like to help out anytime or see how much we do not care 6 days a week, come on up...Justin Steiner (I sign my name because I stand behind what I say)
Isn't it easy to always blame coaches for the poor performance shown by losing records nowadays in CHS sports? Anyone with any affiliation to Columbia sports knows that the attitudes of our youth are a direct reflection of homelife or lack of. When are we going to start pointing the finger at parents? WHERE are the parents? For those of us that have followed Columbia sports for generations, the change must come from the kids themselves. And they only know the attitude they live with every day. It's not the administration or the teachers' jobs to raise our kids. Discipline and hard work is what makes winning teams. Yes, there are good coaches and bad, but let's start at home first. Take a hard look in the mirror. Anyone with success in anything in life has worked their tale off to be where they are. If you are not educated and do not make it a priority first, you will not succeed in anything else; sports or life.
No one understands anything about this track team and to say something that disrespectful is stupid. All you people see is the losing records but you dont see the indviduals that actually beat kids from other schools so unless you know what is going on dont talk. You will at least two of those kids in states next year or the year after.
