Head Coach Karen Smidt has been coaching Track & Field and Cross Country at Brighton High School for over 23 years and teaching at BHS for 25. She has earned 17 Coach of the Year awards in both sports and has coached one or more athletes to the State Meet from both teams every year since becoming a coach.
Smidt ran XC & Track for the University of Northern Colorado where she earned 2 All-Americans and holds the 10k D2 Track record for the Bears. She is still an active runner who runs ultramarathons (50+ mile races), but her highest honor is being a mom to two wonderful and successful daughters and a nana to two adorable grandbabies (soon to be 4!). She lives in Brighton with her husband. |
