For the past two years, the River Cities Track Club in Bossier City has qualified 49 athletes for the USATF National Junior Olympics. One of the many reasons the club has experienced so much success is the leadership of head coach Mychal Word, who is also the three-time LHSAA State Champion coach at Mansfield High School.
Monday night, we caught up with Coach Word after he traveled to College Station, Texas for this year's national junior Olympics.
Hear what Coach Word had to say about some of his athletes competing this week.
