Legacy: This year marks the first season that the Grosse Pointe South T&F programs will be without our longtime, beloved coach, Mike Novak, who passed away last summer after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Passion: Mike was a true Blue Devil, a man dedicated to the sport of running but more importantly, passionate about helping young athletes become the best version of themselves.
Impact: A long-time educator and coach, he impacted the lives of countless individuals. He was a true hero.
Tribute: Mike was also a fantasy author of three novels (“Wandering Wizard” series) and was often called “Gandalf:” this event is our humble attempt to honor his legacy.
👟 Walk Details
Event: The 1 Mile Walk will take place prior to the 1st Annual Wandering Wizard Track and Field Invitational.
