"Artie came on as the assistant my first season, then took over as head coach. As an athlete, he focused on the details and was willing to do whatever it took to help you become successful. He cared about us as people and made sure we knew about our value and importance, both as it connected to the team and outside of running. As I battled injuries and finding a place on the team, Artie went above and beyond to include me both as a team member and showed me the behind-the-scenes of coaching. He taught me how to be a valuable asset to a team, whether I was a competitor or coach. He cared about me and my well-being for the future, and was never afraid to stand up for me. As a coach now, I treasure the experience I had running for him and working with him. He has a passion for the sport he loves, and wants his athletes to have the same passion as they participate in his team. He will never jeopardize your physical health for the sake of a race, which is a game changer as an athlete. "

"I ran for Coach Gulden for four years. He is a great leader and believes in his athletes. The better I got to know him, the more I grew to respect his knowledge of the sport and the deep care he has for the success of his athletes in all domains of their lives. "
