New Head Coach for Penn Manor Cross-Country Team: Emily Massage

Emily Massage, a recent Millersville graduate and a four-year runner with the Marauders' cross-country and track and field programs, has been appointed as the new head coach of the Penn Manor cross-country team. She took up the position in June, just a month after concluding her collegiate career.

Massage, along with her assistant coach Matt, brings a passion for running and a nurturing approach to the team. During workouts, she and her staff offer encouragement and navigate toilsome terrains with the athletes. Her motto, "Trust the process," echoes through every training session, instilling a sense of confidence and determination among the team members.

Massage's youth and enthusiasm allow her to connect well with the team. She aspires to be a sister figure for her runners, emulating the dynamic she absorbed during her time at Millersville University (MU). Her dedication to her craft is evident in her training regimen, which has always emphasised lifting and stretching.

Under Massage's guidance, the Comets have been undergoing college-level instruction and practices to get them up to speed. She aims to help them reach their full potential, both athletically and personally.
