The coach who created a Florida distance-running dynasty, the rise of a friendly rival, and the fleet-footed antagonist who flamed out too fast.
Michael LeValle didn’t run for Leto or Largo, but he’s an important part of the story in the mid-1980s. He expected to have Roger Letchworth and Pat McDonough right on his shoulder. That didn’t happen at the 1986 state cross country meet. What did happen at that meet: A familiar name comes back from injury, and the Long Red Row comes back from region-meet disappointment to take the lead for most championships in the decade.
