Al Halper coached women's track and XC for more than twenty years, leaving when the job was made full time and conflicted with his teaching responsibilities in the Worcester Public Schools. He coached at other local colleges thereafter. In the early to mid 80s he coached Holy Cross Hall of Famers Mary McNaughton '87, Julie LeClair '86 and Jackie McNiff '83. Al dressed, let us say, colorfully. The obituary includes a photo with him in a HC purple suit and memorial gifts are to be made in his honor to Holy Cross women's track and cross country. Rest in peace, Al. www.telegram.com/obituaries/pneo0465248

Holy Cross wasn't his most recent coaching stop but apparently his favorite. RIP Al.

Rest in peace, Al. He was the women's coach during my time on the men's cross country and track teams. Got to talk to him briefly at Coach K's retirement celebration. His coaching definitely made an impact on the course and on the track.
