We would like to congratulate Brother Martin High School's Head Cross Country Coach, Mr. Drew Haro '03, for being named the 2023 Boys' High School Cross Country Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association!

Please see the following release to Coach Haro from the USTFCCCA:

"It is a pleasure to inform you that you have been selected by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association as the 2023 Boys' High School Cross Country Coach of the Year for the state of Louisiana. This honor is based upon your leadership and the success of the Cross Country team throughout the season. It's also a reflection of your hard work and the dedication of the student-athletes, the coaching staff, as well as the administration of the school.

The USTFCCCA High School Coach of the Year Award Program is proudly sponsored by the United States Marine Corps. Started in 2014, the program recognizes the best high school boys' and girls' coaches, at both the state and national levels, in cross country and track & field. A boys' and girls' coach from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia are chosen at the end of each respective season as state-by-state winners — from there, those 102 honorees are vetted, and two national award winners are selected.

The USTFCCCA is a non-profit professional organization representing cross country and track & field coaches. The organization has over 11,000 coaching members, encompassing NCAA track & field and cross country programs of all divisions, the NAIA, the NJCAA and several state high school track & field/ cross country coaches associations.

The USTFCCCA and the United States Marine Corps are proud to be able to bring this well-deserved recognition to you, the cross country program, and the school. We wish you continued success in your mission to develop the youth of America into productive and well-rounded individuals."
