MHS cross-country coach resigns

With her third child due in August, Marion High School cross-country coach Bethany Carlson planned to split the coaching duties with Marion Elementary School fourth-grade teacher Rebecca Hofer.

After serious deliberation with her husband Eric, Carlson resigned from the position effective June 21 and Hofer will take over as coach.

Carlson said she still plans on attending all cross-country meets and said she would help Hofer during the summer.

Hofer is planning to run a marathon in September, which will be her second marathon.
