Katie Coccaro | Running Coach | Child Development Specialist
None of this would be possible without the love and support of my wife, Katie. Katie has been running ever since she can remember. She earned many distinctions as a High School cross-country and track athlete. Among them are 6X sectional champion in cross country and top 10 finish at Kinney cross country nationals. Katie ran for Corinth High School in upstate NY.
Katie went to Boston College, where she ran cross-country and track as a full scholarship Division I athlete. She brings to Evovle the knowledge of what it takes to be a high-level athlete and the stress that comes with it.
Katie has dedicated her career to educating our youth. She is currently a teacher at Trailside Elementary in Park City. Her years of teaching bring with it a deep knowledge of how kids develop emotionally and intellectually. Katie is certified in elementary education, early childhood education, special education, reading, library, and has her ESL credential.
Katie was a coach with Park City Running Club for several years and had many athletes qualify for the nationals. Katie and Scott have two kids, Ava and Hayden. Ava is a freshman at Coloardo College and is running cross country and track. Hayden is a junior at Park City High School, and he has been playing lacrosse since he was in 2nd grade.
Ava Coccaro | Colorado College Cross Country
Like her mom, Ava has been running since she can remember. She excelled as a young runner with Park City Running Club, making four youth national competitions. Ava placed 14th in Utah's High School Cross Country Championships as a freshman at Park City High School. Not unusual for female runners, she faced adversity as she matured physically. Ava had to confront the mental challenges that accompanied the physical challenges. A fierce competitor, she met these challenges and became a leader on her team. She graduated having qualified and competed in four state championships and earning a spot on the Colorado College Cross Country team. Ava brings the unique perspective of a current college athlete to Evolve Athlete Development.
