Rob Johnson, retired Track and Field and Cross Country coach at Wabash College, spoke to the Crawfordsville Rotary Club at their noon meeting. Johnson told of his journey from the East Coast to the cornfields of Indiana and Wabash College. He began his career in 1971 at Wabash College, coaching football for one year. He then began coaching Track and Field and Cross Country. Johnson spent the fall of 2000 as one of the U.S. Track and Field coaches at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. “My experiences, and those of Wabash men who have participated in the Olympic trials, show that you can come to Wabash and be a part of the Olympic process. It can happen.” He is pictured with Dr. Michael Scheidler, left, and Tom Klein.
