One of the most difficult aspects of sports for both
athletes and coaches is when to say recognize the end, when to acknowledge that
there's more to life than the whistle and the stopwatch and setting up another
flight of hurdles.
There comes a time when fly fishing must take precedence.
For Coach Richie Mercado, 42 years of coaching at the school he
attended is enough.
Over the first weekend in May, he'll coach his St. John's
Mavericks in his final SPC Track & Field Championships.
What Coach Mercado has meant to track & field in Texas
is undeniable, for he has mentored 100s of athletes, several of whom are now
coaches.
Thank you for all you've given to our sport.
