“Part philosopher, part drill sergeant, Coach Jim Kavanagh fosters passion and perseverance in cross country and track and field on the Hill.
His boyish looks-those Irish eyes breakdancing with bedevilment-seem to be jumping off a vintage box of Wheaties. Jim Kavanagh, forever easygoing, belies his biostat of 65.
