"Hands down the best coach I’ve ever had, across any sport. He prioritized my health and school work even more than my athletic performance. Created a great culture. The only people who didn’t like him were partiers who did not make the team a priority. As long as you try hard, he will be your greatest supporter. "

"Artie is always there for his athletes both as runners and as people. He cared about each individual on the team and their happiness was more important than their success in the sport. He also was very knowledgeable about distance running and coached me to competing at the highest level. "

"Coach Artie emphasized to his athletes to appreciate the opportunity given to you and that no one can ask you to give more than your best. He really lived by that! He was always invested in athletes' wellbeing, academic and athlete success. "
