Coach Tom Meyer spent a forty-year career in Akron, Colorado as a teacher/coach. His level of success in the arena of track and field is legendary, as his teams recorded eight state championships and 10 state runner-up finishes. Piece together an impressive history as a basketball coach, and we get a picture of a coach that knows success and can get that out of his teams. Yet he is grateful for many aspects beyond high school competition. The athletes, coaches, and community that he believes allowed him to capitalize on his passion.
