2023 COACHING STAFF

HEAD COACH
Luke Jelen (4th Year)

I have been a part of SFLXC since I was young. All 3 of my older siblings ran for Coach Mark Greeno. I ran for Coach Eric Pooley, and enjoyed competing for a program with such a rich history. I was an Assistant Coach under Eric Pooley for a couple of years, before becoming Head Coach in 2020. My passion is distance running and helping teams of young people achieve their full potential as a group.

I ran XC and Track at Liberty University (VA) and graduated with a B.S. in Sport Management. I am a husband and a father of two.
