New Big Orange Running Club Coach Johanna Smith

Johanna Smith
​Please welcome our new Big Orange Running Club head coach, Johanna Smith. 

Coach Johanna grew up running the country roads of West Liberty as a kid and ran for the Big Orange Cross Country and Tiger Track and Field teams for West Liberty-Salem before graduating in 1998.

A former elementary school teacher, who now substitute teaches at WLS, Coach Johanna coached high school cross country and track and field in Virginia before moving back to Ohio.  She has been a part of our middle school track and field coaching staff since 2022.

Coach Johanna’s hobbies include going on long runs, reading a great book and trying new recipes.

Coach Smith is also a Big Orange Cross Country and Tiger Track and Field mom.  Her son, Micah is a 2023 WLS graduate and daughter Mariska runs on the cross country and track and field teams.  Her husband, Joe was a standout runner for Bellefontaine.

We know Coach Johanna will bring big energy and a wealth of knowledge to the Big Orange Running Club.  We’re thankful to her commitment to our program.

​Thank you to our Big Orange Running Club leader, mastermind, and head coach, Mandy Lauck for heading up the program since 2018.  During that time, Coach Mandy and her staff coached over 800 young athletes, teaching them the importance of a healthy lifestyle, teamwork, and foundational athletic skills for all sports.

Coach Mandy is the new head girls soccer coach at West Liberty-Salem, and will be stepping down from her coaching position with the Big Orange Running Club, but we will continue to follow her coaching template.  Don’t be surprised if you see her cheering on our athletes from time to time.

Good luck, Coach Mandy!  Thank you for all your love and support.
