Earlier this week, Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton announced they were retiring from Track and Field. The Tracktown USA Power Couple decided that 10 years was enough. The Eaton’s decided that back to back Olympic Gold Medals in the Decathalon for Ashton along with tons of memories of competing at Hayward Field was enough.
One man who took that journey with them was their Coach. Harry Marra spoke with Spikes in a candid interview recently and talked about everything from how he landed in Oregon and met the Eaton’s and Coached one of the best to ever set foot on the World Stage in Track and Field.
