New coach alert! Welcome Danielle Groff to LHR!
Coach Melissa and I have been discussing adding a new female coach to the staff as Melissa seemingly got all the requests from new female athletes. Then, the perfect opportunity fell in our lap. Enter, Danielle. She was a member of Hanson’s Brooks-ODP back in the day, is experienced in the system and the marathon, represents our athletes well as a mom and wife, has some coaching experience, and is now Melissa’s neighbor! You couldn’t ask for a better situation!
