Episode 16 - Kirk Reynolds - Coach and D3 Historian
Today we’re joined by Head Women's XCTF Coach at Pomona-Pitzer, Kirk Reynolds. Coach Reynolds has been a resident of D3 since his College Days at Lewis and Clark. He transitioned into coaching after college while getting his Master’s at Claremont McKenna. In 1989, he took a short walk across town to become the Head Coach at Pomona-Pitzer and has been there ever since. Reynolds has stacked up the coaching accolades by guiding 35 All-Americans, and 10 XCTF Conference titles.
Beyond coaching, Coach Reynolds has brought a lot to Division 3 Running. He holds the role as Historian on the USTFCCCA Exec committee and has created the Historians Report that houses everything you need to know about Division 3 history. It’s truly a comprehensive report that recounts the origins of D3 and can be a source of motivation. Our favorite section is the list of 3x and 4x All American. We encourage you to check it out. We had a blast asking Coach Reynolds questions about the history of D3 Running as well as learning about his sabbatical to Kenya.
