Huskie alum Maldonado returns as cross country head coach
OTHELLO — Othello School District announced June 1 that former Huskie’s athlete David Maldonado will be the new head coach of Huskies cross country. In the days since the announcement, Maldonado said he was overwhelmed by the support from the community. “It feels amazing, the amount of support that I didn't really expect from the community, and through social media,” Maldonado said. “I just was able to really admire all the connections and great relationships that I've maintained over the years, and I think a lot of it has to do with just time passing by, and everybody realizes, ‘Oh man, look at this guy, now he's the new head coach.”
