There indeed WAS a silly person signing in under my moniker and posting some immature stuff. If you see pugetsoundhound in black lettering it is not me.

Only the real pugetsoundhound can sign in. My moniker will appear in blue.
My post below was sincere.

FORMER NOLE STATES; No, I was mocking your ignorance, but yes, she has also recruited the best high school girl miler from Canada. Maybe if you were more open-minded, you could get the kids to win the hardware, too

ah, mocking and name calling. . .something you learned in college? doesn't say much for you or your former school. . .

Thank Ryan, for the interview and everything Flotrack does for the running community!

I want it to be clear that this interview took place in fall 2008, and I was only speaking about female head cross country coaches who have won ncaa team titles.
I got an email this morning pointing out that there are two female head coaches who HAVE won NCAA XC team titles. Obviously my blanket statement was incorrect and I certainly wanted to point my mistakes out.
I want to take this opportunity to recognize and acknowledge Terry Crawford and Dena Evans.
Terry was a head coach at Texas and won the NCAA cross country women's team title in 1986. Terry is currently the director of cross country & track and field at Cal Poly.
Dena Evans was promoted to the head coach in 2003, and went on the coach the Stanford ladies to an NCAA cross country team title that same year.
Here is Dena's bio:

I am certainly grateful that a fellow female coach pointed my mistakes out to me.
My statement was wrong, so its been done, TWICE! My apologies to anyone I may have offended.
Wishing everyone good health and fast times;
Coach Karen Harvey
Florida State University

I think thi swas from XC season and she was talking about XC Championship. Is that the case Ryan?

Also why would being a black female coach be harder in today's environment than just being female? I think it is easier for Bev to go into a black sprinters house and get a recruit then it is for a white female.

What's harder than being a female coach? How about a black female coach?

From the UT website:
Beverly Kearney begins her 16th season at the helm of the University of Texas women's track and field program this fall.
...She was honored as one of eight inductees into the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame...
The Longhorns coach was the perfect candidate as she has seven NCAA Championships, six at The University of Texas, and 19 league titles since joining the program in 1993.
I wonder what she has to say?

Jeesh, how long are we gonna milk the "male dominated" thing? Come on, Karen, you have totally proved yourself as an amazing and successful coach. If it truly doesn't matter to you, as you say, then move on already.

Ms.harvey I think is wrong in her comments that no female coach has ever won a national Championship.If I'm not mistaken Bev Kearn from Texas has won a national women's championship.I could be wrong.
