Former colleague Mike Newman was a great one and the whole IL running community will miss him. Coaching fraternity brother Rob Harvey (Wheaton-Warrenville South HS girls head coach) leaves a heartfelt message on Newman:
"Newms, as his York and NCC brothers called him, was an icon. He was the 'OG' of the internet reporters. His context was revolutionary, and his interviews were legendary. The coaches respected his insights, and the athletes really made it when they got a Newman interview."
"On a personal note, he was a true friend of our program and a trusted and personal friend of mine. I will miss our weekly, sometimes daily, phone calls about XC and track & field. More importantly, I will miss our talks about our families and lives. My prayers are with his family, especially his mom and children. The last conversation I had with him ended as they always did: I love you brother. Thanks, Newms! You are valued and missed dearly."
