Alice Witte was my high school track and field coach and an amazing mentor and friend. She was also an inspirational volleyball coach and “Play Like Crazy” was her personal mantra embraced by all of her athletes, no matter what sport she supported us in.Alice passed away from breast cancer in 1994. The gymnasium in the Homer High School is dedicated to her and named in her honor. As a survivor, I run this race in her memory and for her influence for us all to “play like crazy.”
