As a parent of a D1 athlete, Chas was a large part of the reason my daughter decided to attend her university. Chas was always, and still is, one of the kindest, most caring coaches I have ever met. He is encouraging, supportive, hard-working, personable, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. He truly cares about his athletes, both on the track, in the classroom, and as students and young adults balancing the many demands they face. When my daughter was struggling with some injuries and personal issues, Chas was always there for her. Even though Chas is now at a different university, my daughter and our family still keep in touch with him. He is an outstanding person and any athlete would be privileged to call him "Coach."

Chas can definitely give the vibe that he doesn’t always take everything as seriously as people expect him to, but that’s one of the things that makes him a great coach. Most of us can benefit from taking ourselves a little less seriously and having more fun, and Chas does a great job of fostering a team culture where having fun is encouraged. He cares deeply about his athletes - I’ve never known him to neglect an athlete in need or reaching out for help - and he does everything he can to help them develop, both as athletes and as people. My experience with Chas has been 100% positive

Chas is one of the best college coaches we have seen. He is excellent in recruiting athletes; he is great at communicating and makes the process fun with social media. During the season, Chas is motivating and always positive. He really cares about his student athletes. We are so grateful that our daughter was able to be coached by Chas.

My student had the opportunity to be coached by Chas, and she had such a positive experience! He is dedicated, knowledgeable, caring, and creates a team environment that fosters inclusion and belonging. He makes the hard work of running and training fun and celebrates each athlete as they develop. He also values each team member as a human being, which is so refreshing in the increasingly high pressure environment of college athletics. My student ran well when coached by Chas, and truly loved being a part of his team. I’ll add that as a former collegiate coach myself, Chas is doing everything right. Any runner would be lucky to be on a team he coaches.

Chas has been there for me through so much. He was such an important coach in my college career. He believed in me, he pushed me to be better, and he looked out for our entire team. He truly cared about us outside of running and so many people never take that chance to. He is passionate about what he does and he knows how to coach people to not only be better runners but better people. There were so many times in my career that I contemplated moving on from running or going somewhere else and Chas was the one person who made me want to stay. He has always had my back and I know so many women and men I ran with feel the same. Chas is what the running world needs. We need more people who care and more people to advocate for athletes and he did all of this and more. He made my college running experience better and I cannot thank him enough!
