Here are some of the new coaches who will roam the sidelines this spring.

The only constant in life is change, and that’s true on the sidelines for many of your favorite high school spring sports teams.

Here are a few of the new varsity head coaches who will grace the sidelines, fields, courts, courses and tracks in the spring of 2023.

*This story has been corrected.

At Willamette University, Parks coached two-time Olympian Nick Symmonds and two NCAA champions including Jimmy Watts. He also worked at Portland State University, Auburn University (where he coached a 400-meter hurdle World Champion and Olympic medalist, and more than two dozen Olympic Trials qualifiers) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (where he launched the school’s track program, and three years later, defeated defending national champion Alabama.
