Frank Dutille

East Longmeadow High School

Frank started the track program from day one, and started the cross-country program after pushing for 13 years to incorporate the program into the high school system. He compiled a track record of 170-85, and coached the teams to three undefeated seasons and three Western Mass. championships (1069, 1970, and 1973). Frank retired from coaching in 1985, after which he officiated track at the national level, involving himself in Olympic trials, paralympics, Special Olympics, and many college championships. He continued to help the track team by officiating their meets until he retired from ELHS in 1996 after 36 years of service. Many of his athletes still hold high school records and will be joining him in the ELHS Athletic Hall of Fame. Frank was inducted into the Massachusetts Track Coaches Hall of Fame in 1997
