Biography:

Coach Scott McGrath is excited to be teaching and coaching at Oyster River.  This season will be his debut as the assistant indoor track coach while this school year will see Coach McGrath in his first year as a social studies teacher at OR.  Coach McGrath comes to OR with eight years coaching experience in distance running both in the high school ranks as well as operating a private coaching business.  This past fall season he led the boys cross country team to prominence in Division II.

Even with limited exposure to the school and the team, Coach McGrath is already discovering that Oyster River is a great place.  He says that "I find the kids on the cross country team to be highly respectful, coachable, and motivated to be the best they can be, which has been a plus this preseason.  The tradition of excellence at OR is evident among the boys as we're ranked fourth in the state and aim to exceed that ranking come late October."  

When not coaching, Coach McGrath likes to hike, read historical fiction, cook, and travel with his wife.
