WWAWG #13 – Brian McGee, Gardner Edgerton High School
Brian McGee is in his 15th
year as the head coach (20th
overall) of the boy’s track and field team at Gardner
Edgerton High School. His teams are always one of the best in the state
and I’ve been lucky to get to know him well for the past decade. It
was very interesting to get a different perspective on how the
Coronavirus is affecting high school track and field
athletes.
