In the midst of crazy times sometimes you get a wake up call that reminds you of what’s is important. That happened today. It’s with profound sadness that our program says goodbye to a coach, hero, friend, and true legend.

Coach Pecky Smilanich left us today, leaving behind a championship, heroic legacy that impacted countless lives. He truly lived life to the fullest. I cannot express how grateful I am he was a part of our Bluejacket family

Here’s an amazing story from one of Pecky’s first teaching/coaching stops! The pole vault story is my favorite! https://www.google.com/amp/s/qconline.com/life/from-erie-to-hollywood-former-coach-consulted-on-brad-pitt-film/article_9e696c49-bdd9-5d25-b39c-5210ad0fa2f2.amp.html
