"Coach Renner is the most underrated Coach at McDaniel College. He has truly turned my athletic career from what was considered non-existent to something worth talking about. It was Coach Renner who reached out to me after hearing that I’d run around campus for fun during COVID, only having been involved in field events on the XCTF team, not running. His pursuing me to join the distance team during my junior year changed my life. His motto is to trust and follow his plan, and all will work out. I went from a 28 6k runner my first XC season to a 23:10 during my second season- with just ONE full year of training under his plan. When I began to excel like this, Renner even moved me into the men’s team for training, believing that I was good enough to train with the men and that I’d get better from this. He absolutely believes in every athlete as long as they show up and trust him. In my last year running at McDaniel, Coach Renner lead me to a Conference Title in the 10k. I went from not even being top 20 in track events my junior year to WINNING a title exactly two years later. Lastly, Coach Renner cares about people’s lives deeply outside of running. He will help athlete’s with their job searches, tutoring, and even take athletes to the airport when they live far away and return home. If you want to improve and be where a coach believes in you—- come to McDaniel. "

"One of the best coaches I’ve ever worked with. He knows what he is doing and genuinely cares about his athletes performance in the sport and there success outside the sport."
