A Note from Bud James

As the 2012 Cross Country Season comes to an end I would like to thank everyone for a fine season. This particular team was very special in many ways. All of the teams that I have coached at U High have been the best kids at our school. This team was a wonderful example of the best of the best at our school. After having coached at U High since 1988 I have come to the point in my career that I need to pass the future of cross country on to someone else. I have had the honor of coaching hundreds of students who have and will go on to do great things in life. The process that we have passed through during this time together is one that can be applied to anything that you will encounter along your life journey. Take your knowledge of running and the friendships, relationships and lessons that you have learned here and apply them to everything you do. You will alway remember that whatever you do in life you will make all who you have contacted along the way very proud of you. I for one am very proud to have coached each and every member of our team. No matter where you go or what you do I will always be your coach and want you to know that I will be there for you no matter what. I will always remember the 2012 Cross Country Team as one of the best ever. Thank you for making my final team one that I will always remember. Always continue to pass your magic on.
