Our next inductee is Scott Cody along with Jamalh, a 1988 graduate of Cambridge Rindge and Latin school, Scott was also a 1992 graduate of Providence College where he earned his degree in Health and Physical Education. He has dedicated his life to his Alma mater as he currently teaches and coaches at Cambridge Rindge and Latin for the past 27 years. Great minds think alike and so, like Jamalh, some of Scott’s cherished memories from high school are his fellowHall of Famers, his coaches, Frank McCarthy and Bob Maguire. According to Coach McCarthy, “Scott was a determined, focused and resilient runner. Regardless of the settings, he took each race like it was his last. His work ethic, drive, team first and vision served as an excellent role model for his younger teammates. According to Coach Maguire, “Scott is every coach’s dream. He might have been our best “dig down deep” competitor, and we did have a great many of them. His work ethic was unmatched and he relied on that strength in every big meet he ran.” Those two coaches' accolades may have come from Scott’s philosophy of running which is, “I believed that running was about managing pain. I always thought I was willing to hurt more than my competitors. If I was hurting, I knew they were hurting, so I pushed the pace.” He is very proud to have been an integral part of the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School’s Triple Crown, winning the All-State titles in Cross County, Indoor track and Spring Track during the 1986-1987 school year. I’m not sure if any other team has ever done that. As mentioned earlier by his fellow inductee, his successful coaching career at his Alma Mater will assuredly get him into the MSTCA’s Coaching Hall of Fame as well. Scott is very proud to have been the captain of thE Providence College Cross Country team that placed 3rd at the NCAA Division One Championships in 1992. That PC team also won 3 Big-East consecutive titles in 1990, 91, and 92. In addition to his coaching duties at Rindge he currently coaches alongside his fellow PC teammate Mark Carroll at the BAA
