Head Coach Steve DeFrance has coached cross country and track (26 years) for the past 29 years. The 2008-2009 school year will be his 11th year as the Mohawk Head Coach. In the first four years as Head Coach, the team qualified for the State Meet, which is a part of a nine year stretch. The 2007-2008 Mohawks ranked in the top 15 in the entire season.
