Mark Kachler is retiring from the Mason County cross country head coach position after 24 seasons at the helm.
Kachler made the announcement in an email message to parents and others this evening.
Here is what he wrote: "I wanted to formally let all of you know that as of today I have retired as the Head XC Coach at Mason Co. I want to thank all of you and the many parents that came before you. It has been a blessed 24 years. Everything however has an expiration date. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The XC camp is still on for 8/14-8/17. We still plan to have a home Invitational 9/9/23 just as we have in the past. I will be helping the new Coaching hire with those things that are already on the schedule.
A new coaching search will begin immediately by school administration.
My decision about Track for 2024 has not yet been made."
Kachler guided the cross country program to unprecedented heights. His girls' teams won 10 region championships and were region runners-up four times.
The Lady Royals took fourth place at the state meet last fall, their fifth straight podium finish. A third place finish at the 2018 state meet is the highest finish in program history.
The boys' teams have been region runners-up four times during Kachler's tenure.
