Bill Luti
Bill Luti:Back in 1968, coach Luti helped organize what was to become one of the oldest footraces in New England - the "Concord 5-Miler." In recognition of his many contributions to the sport of running - and to the many lives he has touched - the race was named in his honor in 1984. Bill Luti coached Boys' Cross-Country at Concord High School from 1957 to 1982. During that time his teams won 13 State Championships and 4 New England Titles (plus four runners up titles). During his 10 years as Girls' Spring Track Coach his teams won 5 Class L titles, 7 State Titles, and 1 New England Crown. He returned from retirement for a two year stint as Girls' Cross-Country Coach and brought the team to a Class L and State Title. Coach Luti also brought running to the community at large, before the "boom", with fun runs, road races, and the formation of a local running club.
Bill will again be our official starter, give splits at 2-miles, and hand out the alumni awards. Thanks Bill!
