Assistant Coach
MACKENZIE JOHNSON
Coach Johnson began teaching English and coaching cross country at Blue Valley High School in 2022. She loves being part of this program! She grew up playing tennis and was involved in theatre, dance, band, and show-choir. But she also really enjoyed running for exercise. Coach Johnson loves supporting the athletes as they learn to build healthy habits and encouraging them to have fun while competing.
- You should know: Running is for everyone! I’ve never considered myself much of an athlete, but I’ve learned that running really is for every person. It’s great for both the mind and body and grows a person’s confidence and energy in all other aspects of life. To run is to build endurance. And to run on this team is to build community as well!
- Favorite running quote: “You never know what you can do until you try.” — C.S. Lewis
Assistant Coach
Lyndi Hoit
Coach Hoit joined the Blue Valley High School cross country coaching staff in 2026. She also serves as school psychologist at BVHS. She started running in eighth grade because her mom made her, but quickly discovered she loved the sport. She almost didn’t return for her freshman season, but is grateful she did. Lyndi went on to run both cross country and track throughout high school, where the discipline, perseverance, and work ethic she developed continue to shape her life today. Many of the friendships she formed as a runner have lasted into adulthood. Coach Hoit enjoys helping athletes grow not only as runners but also as confident, resilient people.
- What you should know: You don’t have to be the fastest runner to benefit from cross country. The lessons you learn by showing up, working hard, and pushing through difficult days carry over into every part of life. Some of the best friendships and most meaningful growth happen one practice at a time.
- Favorite running quote: ““Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.” — Abraham Lincoln
