Meet The Coaches

Head Coach:  Crystal Davis (Cohen)

2010 marks the third year for Coach Davis as Head Coach for the Blue Blazers.  This is her 8th season with Elkhart Central Girls Track.  Davis’ expertise is in the area of sprints, including relays and hurdles. 

Formerly Coach Cohen, as some of the girls still call her, is very excited to work with the Blazers because it is her old running ground. Davis graduated from Central in 1997.  She was a top runner in the area and ventured to state all 4 years, medaling in several events. Davis followed her running career to Purdue University then ventured to Indiana University to run for another Central Grad, Ed Beathea.  Beathea became a coach and a mentor for Davis taking her in as an assistant for the Hoosiers.  Davis then was able to receive coaching experience with the best in the nation and all Americans.  While receiving her degree in Kinesiology and assisting the Hoosier Track team, Davis also coached middle school track and Indiana Track Club in Bloomington.  Upon graduating from IU, Davis decided to travel back to Elkhart to pursue teaching and coaching.

Coach Davis’ passion is coaching Track but spends the majority of her day taking care of her three year old daughter Hallie and her one year old son Cohen. She loves spending as much time as possible with her husband Jonathan.  Davis is now a stay at home mom and striving to achieve the goal of being able to stay home to raise a family. 

Coach Davis comments on the upcoming season. “The 2009 team had big shoes to fill with our past years being very successful. They finished the season better than expected and worked hard through the Regional meet.  The 2010 team is also a very young team and it is another re-building year for our program. The team will be leaning on upper classman leadership. However, our underclassmen look very hopeful. My staff is ready for the challenge and we look forward to working with the younger talent.  Younger talent often brings surprises to the season and we are excited to see what happens.”
