Celebrating Coach of the Year

As if claiming the state title wasn’t enough, Coach Jones was also bestowed the honor of 2025 High School Boys Track & Field Coach of the Year for Virginia by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. This accolade is part of the organization’s annual awards recognizing one boys and one girls coach from each state and the District of Columbia. Jones’s selection was well-earned, taking into account not only the team’s stellar performance during the season but also individual accomplishments and overall program growth.

The championship event, held on June 7, solidified the Falcons’ place as the top team in Class 3, echoing the glory days of 2004 when Jones headed the program. The pride surrounding Fauquier High School has never been more palpable, as students, parents, and faculty joined together in celebration of their victorious athletes.

His journey began with a biology degree and a special education certificate from Bridgewater College, followed by a master’s degree in kinesiology focused on athletic administration.
