Coach's BIOS:
Jeff Edwards- I have 17 Years of experience coaching Track & Field and 14 of those years I have served as a head coach. I got my start coaching Track & Field in Morris Illinois at the high school where I coached for two seasons; I then took over as the Head Coach of the boys track team at Shabbona Middle school in Morris where I held that position for 4 years before taking a new teaching job in Oswego. I started teaching at Oswego East in 2004 where I was the head coach for the boys track team for the 2005, 2006, and 2007 track season. I was offered a job at Oswego High School in 2007 and was able to help coach the girls track team with current head girls coach Jamie Bechina for one season. I was given the chance to take over as the boys head coach here at Oswego High School for the 2009 season and I have held that position ever since.
Believe it or not I was actually a sprinter in junior high and in high school! In 8th grade I was a state champion in the 100m dash in the A division which was the small school division. I went on to qualify for state in the 200m dash in high school with my all time best mark of 22.2. I decided to play football in college so I had a break from track until I took my first teaching job. I have coached 2 state champions at the junior high level and have coached 11 individual state qualifiers and 2 relay teams at the high school level. I have coached 5 all state Track & Field athletes since 2005.
I currently coach the Sprinters group for the team which includes the 2 sprint relays. I will also be coaching the horizontal jumps this year as well.
