Who is Sam Sharp?
Originally from Cincinnati, Sam started his track career at sports powerhouse Moeller High School, where he still holds five individual and relay school records. He captained the Moeller track team to its first league team championship in over 20 years. An Achilles injury paused his competitive career at the University of South Carolina. After a career in law, he resurfaced on the track scene as a USATF Level 2 certified coach and Masters athlete in 2021. He has since won four regional titles and three national titles in the 35-39 age group. He proudly serves as the Head Cross Country and Track & Field Coach at Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA
Sam is a problem solver who loves seeing athletes improve and overcome barriers. He has difficulties not running on rest days. He hopes to be the team’s most sought-after pacemaker during workouts.
