Chris Richardson - Head Coach

Richardson’s track and field career started 24 years ago when he ran anchor for his middle school’s 4x100m relay team. Over the course of his running career, Richardson ran everything from the 100m dash up to 1600m run on the track. In high school, Richardson opted not to participate in his high school’s track program. Instead, he opted to take up boxing and became a top ranked amateur boxer (17-5) at weights of 125lbs, 132lbs, and 139lbs. As a competitive roadrunner, he competed in 5Ks (15:41), 8Ks (30:20) and 10Ks (37.42) road races.

Since moving to Northern, VA in 1995, Richardson was a volunteer girls basketball coach for three years with Lee District Basketball Association before starting the Cobra Track Club in February 2000.
