Impact Statement
Marc Hunter has turned Loudoun Valley into a perennial state powerhouse over his short duration at the helm.
Biography
Coach Hunter led Loudoun Valley to its third straight Virginia Class 4A championship with a state record 15 points. The top five runners at the state championships were all Loudoun Valley Vikings. Loudoun Valley then capped the season with a national championship by finishing first at the National Cross Country Nationals.
After winning the national championship, Hunter told the Washington Post, “The boys were outstanding. They had a bull’s eye on their back early in the season, and it didn’t affect them at all. I’m just amazed at the stress these guys could’ve — maybe even should’ve — had, and they just didn’t let it affect them at all.”
Since being honored, Hunter and Loudoun Valley claimed another state title in 2019.
