Coach Short

Hi!  Just to tell a little about myself.... I am from Lincoln, IL about 40 miles south of Normal.  I went to high school at Lincoln Community High School where I ran cross-country and track for 4 years.  I was the first girl (and for 4 years the only girl) to run XC at LCHS!  I attended college at Eastern Illinois University where  I ran track and field.  I was a heptathalete and 400 hurdler.  I have participated in numerous state and national competitions.  I have taught at Southeast High School, Stephen Decatur Middle School, and finally I began teaching at Chiddix in 2001.  I teach 6th grade at CJHS, coach XC and I recently resigned as the head girls track coach at Normal West when I had my baby girl.   I love teaching and coaching  at Chiddix!!   Over the past 6 years, we have brought home a 2nd place state trophy and qualified numerous runners and teams for the state XC meet.  Just last year our girls placed 5th as a team.  I am so proud to be a coach at CJHS!

Since 2001,  I have found at Chiddix that not only are the students and staff awesome but the parent and community involvement is tremendous!  I am definitely looking forward to meeting my new team and having an AWESOME year!  Go Chargers!
