Todd Goewey is arguably the heart and soul of Bates

running. Although a native of Massachusetts, he is at heart

a Mainer. The only thing Todd loves more than fly fishing

and the Bates Dining Service is relaxing with the runners

he coaches...and even that's debatable!

Todd was quite the runner back in the day at Appalachian

State where he ran sub 30 minutes for the 10k and ran a

3:44 1500. He dismisses his 9:30 steeplechase time as

"nothing." At the beginning of the year Todd takes the

freshmen out for an inaugural River or Thorncrag. These

days it is rare to see him running but when he does, those

offensively short purple shorts display Todd Goewey in his

element. Todd works with the distance runners year-round and writes "wicked good" workouts

for us. Todd is great to have around.
