I first met Coach Bob while he was training the THS track team indoors in the middle school. I asked if I could jump one of the hurdles and with a glow in his eyes he said yes! As I sailed over the hurdle both he and I knew we would develop a strong bond. From 1978-1981 Coach Bob Waterman was not only a great tack coach...but a huge mentor. On and off the track he taught me to be fair, honest and helpful. He helped me build character and encouraged me to go beyond what I ever felt I could achieve. Bob made me earn my Tiger Stripes. We where the best because Bob instilled that completive spirit and athletic prowess in all of us. He pushed us and allowed us to reach our greatest potential.

When I look at the Track I think of Bob Waterman and all that he taught me. I instilled that same competitive spirit and determination in my children. My son is now in a Special Forces unit performing covert operations in the IDF. Coach Bob helped mold me. His genuine concern for everyone attests to his excellence. With deepest respect and gratitude I "ROAR" YES! What a deserved honor. Thanks Coach Bob. Looking forward to my run at WATERMAN TRACK!

He was an incredible coach, but he was so much more than that. I don't even know how to put into words what he has meant to me. I have so much admiration and respect for him. I feel that naming the track after him would be such a fitting tribute.
