Coach Kyle Burton
I have 15 years of experience in track and field, 9 years as an athlete, and 6 years as a coach. I competed in the long-distance events (800 meters - 3200 meters) in high school at Columbus North and (1500 meters - 10,000 meters) in college at Eastern Kentucky University. I started coaching track and field in 2015 at Sayre School in Lexington, Kentucky. I worked with the Sayre middle school and high school teams for four years and gained experience working with all of the different event groups during that time. After finishing my graduate degree in 2018, I moved back to Columbus and started coaching at Northside Middle School and with the Pathfinders club team. This season I will be taking on the role of the head coach and the long-distance coach for the Pathfinders team..
