Previously, he coached cross country and track and field at Saint Ignatius for 20 years. Taking the Marist coaching position was special to Coach Ernst on a personal level as he was long-time coaching friends with the late Marist coaches Jon Gordon and Wayne Holloway. Coach Gordon was the boys head cross country and track and field coach at Marist for 6 years, coaching teams that won ESCC and IHSA sectional titles. Coach Holloway was an assistant coach for sprints with Gordon. Ernst knew the two men as coaching colleagues for more than 25 years. [email protected] |
