Quotes from the Coaches
“Being a part of the Chile Pepper family has allowed Siloam Springs to schedule an overnight meet with our top athletes. This is something our kids work for and look forward to each year. We also purchase team shirts for all our athletes, and shoes for those who can’t afford them. Without the support of the CP sponsors we would not be able to do these things.” – Coach Sharon Jones, Siloam Springs (AR)
“I am a Cross Country coach at Kirkwood High School near St. Louis, MO. We have been running at the Chile Pepper Festival for 5 years and I can honestly say it is one of the highlights of our season. The meet is very well organized, the competition is great, and everyone involved is very friendly and welcoming.” -Coach Joe Bartin, Kirkwood (MO).
