Bill Buettner, Greg Friesen and Greg Greenman

School: Clovis

They’re qualified because: They left egos at home, joined arms and — in an unusual, yet efficient, high school operation sans a solo head coach — helped blend the super-star skills of Jenna Prandini with just enough complementary help to land the school’s second Central Section girls track and field team title and the first in 13 years.

In a score amended because of an original error, the Cougars’ girls edged Buchanan 57-56 for the championship.

He said it: “From the outside, [the co-coaches] might seem kind of unstable. But we’ve worked together so long, none of us has an ego that has to go our way or throw a fit. I know all of us have the same goal in mind — do what’s best for the kids. And I feel like it’s working really well.” — Cougars co-coach Greg Friesen.
