Long-time Tryenor head girls basketball coach Gail Hartigan officially removed her name from consideration for continuing the post on Wednesday Night at a Treynor School Board Meeting.
Hartigan had previously decided that she wanted to step down and be an Assistant Coach with the program in order to transition slowly out of the coaching ranks. She submitted that original resignation on April 20th.
That situation didn’t go as smoothly as was hoped and Hartigan then had a momentary change of heart and asked to rescind her original resignation. The board had offered the job to former boys basketball assistant Joe Chapman but tabled that decision after Hartigan’s change of heart.
At Wednesday’s meeting Hartigan read a letter to the board explaining her thought process, and decision now to officially resign. The board accepted her resignation and will likely wait until their next meeting on June 19th to make a decision on a new coach.
Hartigan plans to continue as Treynor girls track coach. She finishes her basketball coaching career with a 710-172 record, including 14 state tournament appearances including last year’s state title game.
