Born to Run ...
Coach Berube and the Track Team Are Running to Success

Coach Josh Berube tries to instill in students that running, like anything else, demands dedication

Wow, one of Diman's finest is moving up. Graduate Joshua Berube graduated from the Machine Shop in 2004. Josh is now a coach for the winter track team. I was able to sit down and talk with Coach Berube.

I asked him "what made him want to coach winter track?" He told me because they lost coach Arruda and he loves the sport. It was a rough beginning of the season, according to coach Berube. He thinks it is because the runners thought of him as more of a teammate than a coach. He works great with the runners and takes pride in what he is doing. He keeps the runners motivated and won't let them give up easily.

I also asked coach Berube, "If he ran track at Diman." He told me he ran for three years while here at Diman, and holds a couple of records.

There were 32 runners this season. Twenty-one of the runners were either on the principal's list or had high honors.

Don't fear -- Coach Berube will be back next season.
