Joe Newton
Dr. Joe Vigil
By the time Joe Newton graduated from Parker High School in 1947, he earned twelve varsity letters in five sports, but none in cross country. Newton graduated early from Parker and went on to Northwestern University. That spring, when he still should have been in high school, he ran the 100 yard dash in a swift 9.8 seconds, the 220 in 21.4 and long jumped 22-9. He graduated with distinction from Northwestern in 1951. Newton moved on to serve in the U.S. Army where he discovered his love of coaching and continued coaching for a few years at Waterman High School. Newton came to York High School in 1960 and during his fifty year tenure, his cross country team won 26 state cross country titles and 41 state trophies making York one of the most dominant high school sports programs in Illinois. Before an initial “retirement” in 2000, he compiled a 41 year record of 1,025-159 in dual meets, including more than 72 consecutive victories in cross country. Each year, Coach Newton draws hundreds of runners, dubbed “The Long Green Line” to his program. “The Long Green Line” has been documented in articles, books and even a film. The feature length documentary film follows the York Duke’s 2005 Cross Country season as the runners sought their record twenty-fifth title in fifty years. His books, like 1997’s “Coaching Cross Country Successfully”, concentrate on training and motivation. Indeed, Coach Newton is known for his motivational talks that focus on the philosophical and psychological factors that are required for an athlete’s success. He befriended Arthur Lydiard and Peter and Sebastian Coe, from whom he picked up some of their coaching methods. Among his many accomplishments, Coach Newton was the first high school coach named to the United States Olympic track staff for the 1988 Games in Seoul, South Korea. He was an assistant manager in charge of the Olympic marathon runners. He has been named High School Cross Country Coach of the Year sixteen times by the Northern Illinois Track Coaches Association and fifteen times by the Illinois High School Coaches Association. He received the National Cross Country Coach of the Year Award four times. He is enshrined in no less than twelve halls of fame, including the National High School Hall of Fame. He ran every day, many times running at 4:30 a.m., for 21 years and 24 days before a stress fracture under his knee ended the streak at age 65. The world record is 25 years.
Coach Vigil has been a US Olympic distance coach since 1988 during which time he has coached Olympic medalists and over 100 National Champions. He has lectured on 6 continents and is considered to be one of the greatest US distances coaches in history! Vigil is the consummate coach scientist, one who combines systems of training, sport science and motivation towards having his athletes achieve at the highest levels. Throughout his 30-plus years of coaching, Vigil has used the information provided by human performance data to develop specific training stimuli for each athlete. On 17 different occasions Coach Vigil served as U.S. international coach, including several Olympic teams. Coach Vigil has been inducted in eight different Halls of Fame and to this day talks and inspires coaches on all levels from all around the globe. • Coached Adams State Grizzlies to 18 national championships including the 1992 NCAA perfect score team • Coached over 350 All-Americans Roger Kingdom 2 Olympic Gold medals, 2 Olympic Records, 1 World Record, 1 World Championship, and the list goes on! Kingdom is arguably the greatest hurdler ever, and now he is leading Cal U’s track & field teams in the same direction. Originally from Vienna, Ga., Kingdom won the gold medal in the 110-meter high hurdles at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics. He is a five-time U.S. champion and won gold medals in the 1989 World Cup, 1989 World University Games and the 1989 and 1995 Pan Am Games. He set the world record of 12.92 in the 110-meter high hurdles in Zurich, Switzerland in 1989, surpassing the mark set by Renaldo Nehemiah. He retired from active competition in 1998. Kingdom is a 2002 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, where he competed for the Panthers football team. He joined the Cal U. track & field coaching staff in 2004 to work primarily with the sprinters, and took over the position of Director of Track & Field in 2005.
GENERAL INFORMATION On August 5th, in conjunction with the Cal U XC Camp which runs from August 1-6, Cal U is pleased to present an evening full of motivation and learning for all athletes. With special emphasis on motivating athletes in cross country and track & field, this ‘pep talk’ is suitable for middle school and high school age students, however athletes of all ages are encouraged to attend. The Road To The Top will feature talks by Dr. Joe Vigil, Joe Newton, and Roger Kingdom. Following the talks will be a question and answer section followed by an opportunity to take photos and get autographs from the speakers.
