Coach Larson

I’ve known about this for a week or two but it was finally announced in The Forum today. Congrats to Coach Larson on his well deserved retirement. I was one of the first athletes he recruited to NDSU and was lucky to be a part of that program.

He will be missed but I'm sure he has trained his replacements quite well

Plant a shelterbelt of trees, with a lot of evergreens, around the track. Its biggest weakness is wind.

And let bison hall of fame members park old cars by it.

Coach L has done a lot for the Bison program.
Not to be overlooked (should not be overlooked),was his ability to recognize coaching talent and get some of those coaches to come to NDSU. (We typically look at the athletes.) Ryun Godfrey, Stevie Keller, and Justin St. Clair come to mind, but I am sure there are others.

I'll add....Cando's own, Jerry Gores.
Bison Hall of Fame Cross Country and Track and Field Coach. (1987 to 1999)
Coach Larson made immeasurable contributions to NDSU. Great coach and fantastic person.

Gores is a Bison great but Lars had nothing to do with his success.

While he had more success with the women’s program, Brent Parmer is another one.
