There two athletes who have changed the entire course and direction of the GBS Distance Program since my first year (1990) at GBS: David O’Gara and James. We all know about James’ work with GBS Distance with social media. However, it’s more than the pictures and stats. It’s the way that he has sought to involve and elevate every member of the program: the community, the school, the parents, the coaches and, of course, the athletes. And to top it off, James Kurtzweil was so incredibly humble about all of it. Never once pointing the acclaim to himself or being self-congratulatory. Simply unreal. - Coach Hilvert (2020)
