Storied Indiana Coach Candice Lockard Announces Retirement

Wednesday, February 21, 2024 | Indiana, PA - Long time Indiana Coach Candice Lockard Announces her retirement after 22 years in Indiana coaching service. Coach Lockard's resume begins when she was coaching volleyball at Taylor Allderdice in 1995. She then went on to fellow WPIAL school Mars and coached volleyball from 1996-2000. From then Candice came to Indiana and was an assistant volleyball coach in 2001 for one year while also coaching track and field. She coached track & field at Indiana from 2001-2006 with another year of coaching in 2017. Coach Lockard started coaching cross country for the Indiana Jr. High from 2002-2021. She finished out her coaching tenure coaching the varsity cross country team from 2022-2023 for two seasons. 

"I am proud of the success that we had. We had won three WAADA XC Championships and five WAADA track & field championships." said Coach Lockard. 

When asked about the thing she is most proud of, Candice had this to say; "The thing I'm most proud of is going to meets and invitationals and seeing former runners I have had who are now coaching because to me that meant they fell in love with the sport just as much as I have." 

"I am very thankful for the support of the community, the parents and most of all the runners who have committed to what I belive is a very challenging sport. It never ceased to amaze me how much they can grow in such a short amount of time. I will certainly miss it." said Coach Lockard.
