Coach Kenny Nunnery

"Hi, my name is Coach K. I help out Coach Suarez and Coach Julie Ralph. I have been around cross-country for the past 9 years. My specialty and experience is hurdling, 400 meters, and 800 meters. I like to teach kids about race strategies, plan workouts, and their eating habits."

Coach Kenny joined the Oceanside Dolphins staff in 2023. Coach K has competitive experience at the collegiate level where he competed and specialized in the hurdles, and also ran competitive times in the 400-meter, 4x400 M Relay, and 800-meter races. Coach K also specializes in coaching race tactics and awareness strategies that athletes often overlook (ex. Tangents, leg turnover, mental focus, etc.), allowing many athletes to become more conscious about their decisions in the heat of the race.
