She takes individuals who weren’t standouts in high school and creates success. She is very understanding of whatever situation you are in from injury to mental health. If you buy in to the program for 4 years you will see improvement. Great coach and caring person. "

"Coach Smith was one of the greatest coaches i've ever had, as he's what made my bad experience with UNI Track completely worth it. He takes the time to understand what works for you, make proper adjustments and fosters a welcoming environment for questions concerns and even personal matters. He establishes himself very well as mentor on and off the track- and will be one of those coaches that you look back and are grateful for. UNI Track is very lucky to have him!"
