Head Coach

James Powell

Coach James grew up in Memphis, Tennessee and ran track and cross-country for the University of Alabama. He fundamentally believes that cross-country is one of the greatest sports a young athlete can be involved in and has witnessed first hand the power of this sport through its potential to develop a community and establish relationships across a diverse group of runners of varying ages and abilities. Distance running is a sport that can be taken with you anywhere you go, shared with anyone you meet, and be a gateway to new and lifelong friendships. James is committed to establishing a lifelong passion for running in each of our runners and ensuring West Seattle Road Runners provides a safe, inclusive space in youth athletics for all children in our community.
