Oakdale High School boys track and field coach Ronnie Beard is this week's guest on the Final Score podcast.
Beard chats with host Greg Swatek about his evolution from being a standout athlete at Frederick High School, where he won numerous state titles in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles, as well as the triple jump, into a head coach, a position he has held at both Tuscarora and Oakdale high schools.
What were his most memorable experiences as an athlete? Who was the fastest guy he ever raced? What was his favorite meet? How did he react when one of his state records was taken down? And what does he miss the most about competing?
Plus, what made him interested in being a coach? And what are his expectations for his team as it begins an important, month-long stretch with the county meet, the conference meet, the regional meet and the state meet.
