Many people know Trey Snide as the host of the “Beach Music Blast” and “SportsTalk” on WIZS Radio. Some may have bought some advertising from him. Anyone who knows Trey also knows he is a true sports fan. What they might not know is that Trey coaches not only one team at Crossroads Christian but, now, two teams.
In addition to being the head baseball coach at the school, he has now been named head coach of the school’s cross country team. Trey brings experience from his time as a student who ran track for Lees-McRae College in the North Carolina mountains. When asked what that experience as an athlete in college gives him as a coach he said, “Never Give up even though you may feel like passing out.”
He has his runners at Crossroads Christian up early to run. Practice currently begins at 7:30 in the morning, and while that may seem early, he says the beautiful countryside where his players practice makes it much better. “Hills, water, woods, dirt, grass…everything you would find in competition,” Trey says of the area.
Coaching cross-country is different than coaching baseball or other team sports. Trey said it is more about the individual and finding ways for the individual to improve.
His team will have some pieces already in place with a 1A All State Runner and the team will looking to get the most from his and the other members of the team this season. The coach in Trey says, “They may say they can’t do anymore, but as a coach, you try to get a little bit more. Give me everything you’ve got.”
WIZS congratulates our own Trey Snide, the new cross country coach at Crossroads Christian.
