Chris Jackson (Head Coach) This is coach Jackson's first year as head coach and also Throws Coach. He is taking over for recently retired long time throws coach, Kent Richardson. My wife, Samantha, and I have four children. I've been teaching math and coaching at Canyon for seventeen years. As I get older, I keep getting slower. Probably because I enjoy Starbucks a little too much. I ran cross country and track at Morro Bay High School. I attended college at Point Loma from 92 to 96 I completed a double major in religion and business. I attended graduate school at Princeton Theological Seminary from 96 to 99 earning a M.Div degree. I then worked as a youth pastor for three years in Lake Elsinore, taught junior high math in Hacienda La Puente for a year, then came to Canyon. At Canyon, I am the club sponsor for Student Task Force (a Human Rights Watch club), and the Red Cross club. I have lost most of my hobbies, as we've had more kids. ...

Kent Richardson has RETIRED! and moved to Colorado Springs! Kent taught math for over 30 years and coached the throwers at Canyon from 2005 to 2019. He enjoyed watching his throwers improve and succeed in their sport. Kent said, "Coaching track is no different than teaching in the classroom, you break the skill down, practice its parts, then put it back together again". Kent also taught part time at The Masters College. Kent will be missed.
