ACGC’s Cody Matthewson announced an unofficial announcement on social media that he is stepping down as ACGC’s head track and field coach. This was made in the wake of his accepting the 9-12 principal position at the high school last fall.
Matthewson spent seven years in charge of the black and gold runners. The team experienced a great deal of success during his tenure. His accomplishments include:
- Three-time state qualifying meet championship: 2023, 2024 and 2025
- State runner-up: 2025
- Three top-10 placements at state championships: second place in 2025, seventh place in 2024 and fifth place in 2023
- Indoor IATC State Champions: 2025
- WCAC Champions: 2022 and 2025
- Four state champions
- 48 state qualifiers
- 22 state medalists (top eight finishes)
- Two state meet records
Matthewson said the job is considered open and can be applied for. Whoever replaces the successful coach has big shoes to fill, but Matthewson has left the program in a good spot to succeed.
