Sean Cleary is the Athlete of the Week for July 7th-13th. While Sean did not do anything athletic (the picture is from 1987), he did happen to coach every runner that made the past weekend the greatest in West Virginia running history.Keri Bland (North Marion) made the Olympic Trials 1500m Semi-final, missing the Final by .41 while running a PB of 4:16.05. Josh Simpson (Oak Glen) finished 12th in the 10,000m at the OT. Megan Metcalfe (WVU, based in Morgantown) won the 5000m at the Canadian Trials and got named to the Canadian Olympic Team. Sean is one of the top distance coaches in North America. WVU, not to mention the entire WV running community, is extremely lucky to have him. Hopefully WVU dangles some rather cost-effective carrots in front of him (Lights at the track, a Men's Team, Panera Gift Cards, ect...) and keeps him around for a long, long time.
