New JHS track coach ... continued from IB
Sigler has either coached
football or both football and
track at each stop during his
career, but this one will be
different.
‘To be honest, I’ve never
been a in a situation where
I’ve only done track,” said
Sigler, who will also coach
cross country at Jefferson.
He’ll take over a Jefferson
program that has eight boys’
state track and field champi
onships to its credit, the most
recent coming in 2010.
The Dragons are coming
off a seventh-place finish at
the Class AAAA state meet
over the weekend.
“They’ve had a great his
tory in track and field, but I’d
really like to see this thing
take off.” he said.
Sigler pointed to Jeffer
son’s long-standing support
of track and field, which he
said was evident through
its hosting of the Georgia
Games — the all-classifica
tion state track meet — for
over four decades.
Sigler hopes to honor the
school’s track and field tradi
tion during his tenure.
“I think I have a healthy
respect for the history of
track in that community and
hope to just give the commu
nity a program that they’ll be
proud of,” he said.
