With the start of the cross country season less than a month away, Ken Harrison has left the Trigg County program to become the cross country coach at Stewart County, Tennessee.
Harrison called it the right move at the time, adding he lives just 16 miles from the Dover school.
Harrison was a long-time coach at Graves County and coached Trigg County in 2017. Under his guidance, the Lady Wildcat team won the Class 2A region title and had the region champion in Livi Ricks. She, along with five other Trigg runners, was named to the Class 2A All-Area Team. Harrison was also named the Class 2A Area 1 Coach of the Year.
Harrison missed the 2017 state meet in November after suffering a heart attack the night before the race that required surgery.
He took the Christian County position in 2018 in an attempt to revitalize a program that had not qualified a full team for the state meet in nearly a decade. However, he returned to Trigg County in 2019 as the cross country coach. He was also an assistant athletic director and assisted with the Trigg County track and field teams.
Trigg’s boys’ team is scheduled to return four of its top seven runners from last year’s region runner-up team that finished eighth at the Class 2A meet for the second straight year.
The girls’ team didn’t qualify a team for state last year but sent four runners to the Class 2A state meet.

Sorry, I’m not an English major but this is a glaring grammatical error. Should be “were named”
