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.
