Wren's decade of coaching at Ottawa University marked by growth
Special to The Herald CORRIN BALL Ottawa University coach Kirk Wren reflects on ten years shaping athletes, emphasizing that great athletes make great coaches. He arrived in 1996 after a shaky six-coach period, using aggressive junior college tactics to lift program morale, recruit standout runners like Justin Garrard, and build lasting bonds with student athletes. The women’s team claimed a conference title in 2004, amid challenging weather, and alumni returns remain a highlight as Wren plans another twenty years at OU before retirement.
