Dear Coach, Thank you for taking a chance on that skinny JUCO kid in California. Thank you for all the laughs, hard workouts and medals to the collection. Thank you for helping me prove everybody wrong who didn’t think I could do this. Thank you for helping me become the best athlete and man I can be. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to finish out the final run of #HighJumpU with you. Every medal I’ve won here at K-State is shared between me and you coach. I’ve already shared the more personal side of this with you when I first found out the news, so there’s not much more to say. You’ll always be appreciated and a big part of my life. Thank you! Enjoy retirement Coach❤️ -Marcus Gelpi #emaw
