Coach Lee Webb will no longer be coaching track and field after 32 years. He coaches cross country as well, and plans to continue for two more years.
Webb has contributed much to track and field as well as the school itself in the time he’s been here. In addition to his long and impressive resume, he has also largely impacted the students he’s worked with. Lilia Guerrero, a senior who’s been in cross country and track and field all through high school, says “He has basically shaped me as a person, because I can tell he really cares about his student athletes.”
Webb sees track and field as “another outlet to help people. In the meantime some of them win scholarships. Those are good rewards.”Coach Webb’s accomplishments as a coach is that he has led our track and field team to twenty-seven North Coast Section girls titles and twenty-three for the boys.
When asked what he will miss about coaching track and field. Webb responded “The students, not the adults.” His plans after retirement are to move closer to his parents. “It’ll be a new beginning. You’ve got to leave sometime,” he shares. Along with his legacy, Webb is leaving behind a new beginning for all of Logan. He played a big part in planning the new track being installed. “I definitely had my handprints on all of it. I feel lucky and hopefully it turns out how we want it,” Webb reveals. Coach Webb has made a lasting impact on the school itself and will be greatly missed when he leaves.
