Those little kids keep her pretty busy, so she makes sure that she runs almost every morning before school. Her son, Owen, is a third grade student at Hanover and loves playing soccer. Coach West did not start to run until she went to college. She ran for Gettysburg College and finally found a sport that she excelled in. She loves that she can still run competitively at 42 years old. Coach West has run tons of road races, too many to count - everything from 5ks to marathons. She keeps track of the fact that she has run 10 marathons, 4 of them being the Boston Marathon.
