Clay Tarter
It has been a long four years since Guthrie High’s crosscountry teams hosted a meet at Cottonwood Flats, but this Friday a new tradition begins.
The inaugural Clay Tarter Invitational, held in honor of the late coach, will be held in Guthrie. Tarter was an icon among the cross country and track programs for over 40 years before passing away unexpectedly last summer.
Tarter’s teams produced nine state titles. He also coached four state champion athletes, three Academic State Championship teams, and had 14 state runnerup finishes.
