For the XC season we are highlighting a coach of the month for each month. September's coach of the month is Lake Braddock's Jason Switzer.
The success at Lake Braddock these past few years, and especially in September, have not gone unnoticed. Coach Switzer has built his program back up to one of the best in the state with both programs now being ranked in our subjective power rankings. Just Blacksburg, West Springfield, and James W. Robinson share that honor.
Though Switzer has been at Lake Braddock for quite some time, he only recently took over the head coaching position a few years ago. In that time he has brick by brick built his program back into a contender in the state.
So far this season the Bruins have run well at multiple meets and most recently took home the boys title at the VTCA Classic against multiple ranked teams. The girls finished 2nd to West Springfield who ranks 2nd in the entire state and is on the verge of being ranked nationally.
The boys also won the Monroe Parker Invitational earlier in the season.
