Blayne Foster:

I’ve been running Cross Country for 4 years and before that I played Basketball. The reason I love running is because hard work pays off for me in Cross more than it did in Basketball. Through Cross Country and Track I’ve been taught a lot about discipline and dedication. I feel changed for the better and I’m glad I walked up to Coach Redd freshman year and asked her if it was too late to run cross country. I’ve met a lot of great people on this team over the years and these people are special to me. I’m going to miss this great environment when I graduate because I don’t think there’s anything like it. After this I plan on going to college for nursing so I can help people for a living.

Redd Jenkins
Head Coach

Coming from Ruston High School where I completed 4 years of cross country and Track running. I was a part of the 1st girls team to win a cross country and track championship for Ruston High School. With 2 indoor mile championships and 2 4×8 championships under my belt and countless wins my love for running grew even more.

I continued to push myself and went on to earn a full track and field scholarship to Northwestern State University. Snagging Freshman of the year in college at the Southland Conference Championships, I completed 3 years of collegiate running for Northwestern before my injury ended my career my senior year.

I graduated from Northwestern in 2011 earning a bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. I furthered my education at the University of Phoenix where I earned my master in education K-6th grade.

I was welcomed to the “Woods” in January 2019 by Mr. Murry and Coach Sparks. They instantly pulled me in once cross country was spoken. I am completing my 3rd year as head cross country and track coach. We have come a VERY long way and I couldn’t be prouder of the “WolfPack” we have built and created.

I am married to Coach Ron Jenkins who is also the assistant coach of cross country, varsity girls basketball and head coach of Jr high girls basketball. We have two children together. Aaiden (10) and Mila (8).
