Campolindo open

Just heard Matt Kirby is no longer the Campo coach. Too bad -- he's a hard worker but the program never bounced back after Art Thoms' run.

A lot of openings in the MCAL for next year, for both boys and girls teams. On the girls side - Redwood, Branson, Archie Williams (formerly Drake) and Novato are open. On the boys side - Branson, Terra Linda (though I think they just hired someone), San Marin, possibly Tam and Novato.

Obviously Sir Francis Drake probably has some connection to oppression or racism..

Yes, because he had owned slaves. I believe that Archie Williams was a well-regarded former teacher at Drake that had run in the Olympics
