Jeff Freund – Class of 2005

I don’t have one single memory of Thunder, in particular. Rather, the four years I was able to run under his tutelage, the single thing that stuck out most was his desire to make each and every one of his athletes better and constantly improve throughout our running careers.

His passion for running and competing was always evident and coach always knew when someone was giving everything they could during a race and one of his many favorite quotes that I will never forget was “Quit feeling sorry for yourself, and get in a goddamn race!” Thank you, Coach for always expecting more of us and never letting us become satisfied with our performances.
