Communication
join code: WEDHV
While we will still be posting information here on the website, we will be integrating a new way of communicating with the team this year, through the messenger app, Spond. This messenger app allows for two-way communication between the coaching staff and families. Parents will receive a duplicate of all communications their athletes receive - we hope this new tool more quickly enables us to communicate any changes we encounter due to weather, busing, or other issues.

Dave Scudamore - Assistant Coach
Coach Scudamore returns the Angels where he has served as an assistant coach since 2014. Coach Scudamore brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the staff as a former professional runner and US National Marathon Champion, following his All-American collegiate performance at Stanford University. This level of expertise will be reflected in his race recaps throughout the season.

Shanelle Robinson - Assistant Coach
Coach Robinson joined the staff at East during the spring semester of the 2025-2026 school, serving as the Career Connections Coordinator, while also serving as Assistant Track Coach and Head JV Coach. Previously, she served as Head Cross Country Coach at Eaglecrest High School, with coaching stops at Rangeview HS and her alma mater Hinkley HS as well. These followed her own standout collegiate career in XC and Track in the Skyline Athletic Conference. She holds a degree in Sports & Exercise Science from the University of Northern Colorado. We’re so excited to add her expertise and energy to our staff for the 2026 season! shanelle_robinson@dpsk12.net
Steve Kohuth - Assistant Coach
Coach Kohuth stepped down as Head Coach following the 2025 season, after 23 years at the helm, but he stills loves it too much to completely walk away. After building this program from not enough kids to produce a scoring squad in the early years to a team that regularly reaches one hundred or more athletes a year, he wasn’t ready to be truly say goodbye so he will be back part-time in 2026. Coach Kohuth will serve as a volunteer coach this year, so that he can run the occasional practice, lead visualizations, attend meets, and drive athletes to Kansas. We’re so excited to have Coach Kohuth back because of all that he means to the team and our identity. skohuth@dpsk12.net
Reed Young - Assistant Coach
Coach Reed joined the staff at East for the 2025-2026 school year, serving as a Social Studies teacher. Previously, he worked at Denver Green School, where he had experience coaching soccer.

He will serve as a part-time assistant helping out the team 2 days a week this fall, and is excited to bring his positive energy and encouragement to working with our runners! reed_young@dpsk12.net
Sharon Pendleton - Assistant Coach
Coach Pendleton joined the staff at East during the 2023-2024 school year, serving as an English teacher. Previously, she coached cross country at her former school, but has spent the first few years at East focusing on her own running.

Harrison Scudamore - Assistant Coach
Those familiar with East Cross Country will recognize the name. Coach Scudamore (#2) has a figurative and literal successful track record with East HS. The top athlete on each of his final three years as a student athlete 2015-2018, he still ranks as the fourth fastest boy in East HS XC history, and now returns to coach his old team alongside his dad. After graduating from East, he attended Columbia University where he ran Track and Cross Country. He also coaches the Colorado Coyotes club team, so he will be splitting duties and helping us out 2-3 days a week during the season. We are so excited to have him back coaching with us for the 2026 season.
Alison Hunt - Assistant Coach
Coach Hunt is excited to consistently get back to coaching distance again for the 2026 season. Previously, she served as Head Cross Country Coach at Eaglecrest High School where she coached for four years. She came over to East as a math teacher in 2023, and began serving as a volunteer coach helping the XC team during the 2025 season. Over the past few years she has focused on her own racing career. At the Mesa Marathon on February 14, 2026, she secured a huge PR and broke the 3 hour mark! With that behind her, she is ready to focus on helping kids run fast too! alison_hunt@dpsk12.net
