There are many coaches out there that want the best for an athlete in track, but there are few that want the best for them after track– and Coach Paul Turner of Harvard was one of these coaches.
On a sad note, I just received word that Paul Turner, the throws coach at Harvard, has recently passed away.
Coach Turner recruited me in high school, and even though I did not attend Harvard, he always supported me and wanted the best for me– both in track and field, and in life. I would see him at various track meets– from regionals to the NCAAs– he always was cheerful, energetic, and encouraging.
Coach Turner will truly be missed.
Best Wishes,
Karen
