| Coaches Tania and James Travieso are
married with three children: Justin (1995), Andrew (2000), and Jordan (2003). James was a cross country and track runner for Columbus High School under the great one, Coach Steve O'Brien. James also ran track at the University of Central Florida until the program was discontinued. He has been coaching high school cross country since 1996, all at Vanguard High School. He enjoys reading, trading in e-bay, telling fishing stories, and listening to Cuban music. Tania on the other hand obtained her running experience
thru the non-traditional route. She has been running, non-stop, for the last
13 years
after the children. This qualifies her as an ultra marathon runner.
