Meet Coach Andrew Tripp: Encouraging Vermont’s Young Athletes
As a high school basketball player and track athlete – and even more as a parent and grandparent – I know how meaningful it can be to have a good coach and role model. Andrew Tripp of U-32 High School in East Montpelier has just wrapped up his 37th year of coaching earlier this month. Andrew has worked with hundreds of cross-country runners, Nordic skiers, and track athletes to become better, stronger, and faster. But he has also coached them to become people who know how to work together. The Bernie Buzz sat down with Andrew to hear how he got involved in coaching, his love for working with our young Vermonters and why he keeps coming back, season after season.
