In 1976, Ron Hungerford arrived in Brockville from Toronto and immediately revitalized cross-country along with track and field in Leeds and Grenville high schools. In his impressive 25-year coaching career with TISS, the energetic and knowledgeable Hungerford coached the Pirates to an incredible number of LGSSAA, EOSSAA and All-Ontario Championships. He was also the founder of the highly-regarded TISS International Track Meet. Hungerford’s philosophy was encouraging his students to strive for personal excellence in whatever they did.
