Skip - the picture says it all!

.........................................................

When we asked the staff to write a bio we sort of had a script to follow. That's not how Skip rolls though! Below is what he sent and we feel that if you read it then you will get to know Skip. He is known to many current and former Blazers Track Club members as Coach Skip and rightly so. He has positively influenced the lives of hundreds of young runners over the years and now he gets to inspire you guys at the store as well. He's a perfect fit for our team!
