Greene Cross Country

This is Jason’s first year coaching at Greene.

Jason grew up running competitive cross country in high school and then rowed crew in high school and college, learning early on the value of consistent effort and mental toughness.

Today, Jason stays active through biking and raising three energetic boys - including a 7th grader on the team - alongside his involvement in civic work. He is looking forward to partnering with Sara to foster good sportsmanship, injury prevention, and a genuine love for the sport among all our runners.

This is Tarik’s first year coaching at Greene. 

Tarik has been running competitively since middle school and currently competes at the collegiate level on McGill University’s varsity Cross Country and Track & Field teams. With a background in youth recreation leading and assistant track coaching, he brings a structured yet encouraging approach to athletic development. 

Through years of high-level endurance training, Tarik has cultivated strong leadership, consistency, and goal-oriented discipline. He is excited to guide Greene’s athletes this season, focusing on skill development, nutritional health, and building team camaraderie.

This is Sara's first year coaching at Greene.

Sara ran cross country and track throughout high school and worked as an assistant coach for summer school cross country. In college, Sara competed in one fun season of DIII track, and for many years her 4x400 relay team held the freshman record (now surpassed by younger, faster runners).

In adulthood, Sara has participated in 5k and 10k races and also loves weightlifting, hiking, and biking. She believes in the importance of cross-functional training to improve strength and protect against injury. She is looking forward to sharing the joys of running with the next generation!
