He has returned every year. His record in the 10 years he has coached at Chiles: three boys’ state championships one for the girls and a combined five runner-up finishes. Eighteen of Gowan’s boys and girls were back this week for a five-day team running camp at ASU that gave them the chance to train at elevation and if their success at a Thursday meet for campers was any predictor of the season to come the teams again may be a threat to bring home state championships. Chiles sophomore girls Lily Williams and Carly Thomas finished one-two by a sizable margin over their closest competitors leading the nine Chiles runners to a first-place finish among teams from around the Southeast including second-place powerhouse Chapel Hill which has won eight North Carolina state championships. Williams ran the two-mile course off the Boone Greenway at State Farm Field in 11:51 with Thomas finishing in 12:10. Their closest competitor was more than 10 seconds behind Thomas. Jody McGuff also on last year’s championship team attended the camp but didn’t race because of a minor injury.
