Sports:Running
This week I had the pleasure to speak with New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame coach Dr. Ron Maestas. We talk about how he got into teaching and coaching, how cross country was not his first choice, and how much coach Dr. Joe Vigil helped shape his own coaching.
Dr. Maestas took a few detours to get to New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, New Mexico, but he had an impact on the runners and the community. He coached the men to 3 top 4 NAIA finishes, including a 2nd place finish in 1989.
We also talk about his racquetball career as a solo player and with his son and being a referee for baseball, softball, basketball, and wrestling. He even gives me a lesson on the legendary Ted Banks, former track and field coach at El Paso, who I did not remember.
It was a great conversation, with some wonderful stories that I hope you enjoy.
The weather is warming up and it's a great time to get outside, so be safe, share the paths, and keep running, New Mexico.
