"Artie was an excellent coach. He is extremely passionate about the sport and wanted all of the student-athletes that he worked with to succeed in sport and in life. He understood the demands of being a student-athlete and recognized that they were just that: students first, athletes second. Great coach! "

"It was an absolute pleasure to be coached by Artie Smith during my time at Cornell University. From day one he supported my growth not just as an athlete, but as a person. He believed in me and challenged me and helped me develop the skills and confidence necessary to succeed both on and off the track."
