After a successful career coaching at his alma mater, The Ohio State University, Gary currently is in his first season at Furman. At Ohio State, Gary guided his teams to six top-three finishes at Big Ten championship events, including runner-up performances at the 2009 cross country meet, plus the 2009 outdoor and 2010 indoor meets. Under Gary’s tutelage, the Buckeyes garnered 17 individual titles and seven relay crowns.

A 1996 participant at the Atlanta Olympic Games, Gary placed second in the men's steeplechase at the Olympic Trials earlier that year with a career-best 8:19.46. Eight years later, his third-place finish at the trials gained an automatic bid on the U.S. team headed to Athens, Greece for the 2004 Olympic Games. Gary last competed at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in 2004, where he placed 33rd in the 4k short race in Brussels, Belgium.

Ley was named to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer All-Century cross country team in 2000. Overcoming injuries during her collegiate career, she lettered at the University of Oregon, Washington State University, and Pacific Lutheran University where she still holds school records in the 800m, 1500m, and 3,000m. Her 1500m mark of 4:15.61 qualified her for the US Olympic Trials in 1992. As an assistant coach at Gig Harbor, her 1992-93 boys’ cross country team finished second in the state meet and the girls placed second at the state track meet; the next year, the girls won both Washington state titles and the boys were second in both. Her boys’ teams in 1995-96 won state titles in both cross country and track while the girls added another runner-up track trophy. Ley took over both programs at Gig Harbor before handing off the track & field duties in 200304. In 2004, her girls’ cross country team lost the state meet on a tiebreaker. They won the next three titles, and her boys’ team placed second in 2007. Her 2005 girls’ team placed seventh at Nike Team Nationals. Ley was named Washington State Cross Country Girls’ Coach of the Year for the 2006 season, and National Federation of High Schools' Northwest Regional Girls' Coach of the Year That season, she was one of eight finalists for the NFHS National Coach of the Year award, and received the same honor for the 2007 cross country season.

Emily Stites and Oklahoma State’s Craig Nowak also claimed national titles in junior competition as competitors battled steady breezes and temperatures in the 30s throughout the day. Women’s Open (8 km) Flanagan set the tone early and by the final two kilometers it proved to be too much to handle as the 2008 Olympic 10,000-meter bronze medalist won her sixth USA Cross Country title in a time of 25:49.0. 2012 Olympian Kim Conley ran with Flanagan through the first six kilometers and eventually finished runner-up in a time of 26:06.0.

The trio spent the duration of the race near the front of a large pack that included Elliot Heath and Ben True, who placed fourth and fifth, respectively. Ryan Vail and 2012 USA Cross Country champion Bobby Mack were also in the mix and placed sixth and seventh. Women’s Junior (6 km) Stites and Erin Finn broke away from the rest of the pack early before Stites then made it a solo race in cruising to the victory in a time of 20:27.3.
