Meet the Coaches


Coach Mindy Mair

I grew up in Blue Earth, MN. I went to college at the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse and pursued my degree as an Elementary Education Teacher with a middle school math emphasis. Three years ago I came to Inver Grove Heights where I am teaching Math Essentials 7 & 8 and Pre Algebra. I have been a varsity volleyball coach at Fairmont, MN and coached one year as an 8th grade volleyball and 2 as Junior Varsity Volleyball at Simley. I also was a head track coach at Granada and a middle school track coach at our School. I played both sports all through high school and played volleyball in college and coached track in college. I am looking forward to a great middle school track season!

Coach Michel Wolf

My name is Michel Paul Wolf, and I grew up in Rock Falls, Illinois where I attended Monmouth College, 4 year liberal arts school and pursued a degree in Elementary Education grades 1-6, Learning Disabilities k-12, Mild-to-Moderately Handicapped, and Emotional-Behavior Disorders. I arrived in MN in 1992 and have called it my home since. I have coached 3 sports from 1992- 2001 til I had my son- Connor. I coached the boys middle school soccer team this past fall and loved being back in the coaching saddle. I have held the Head Girls Track and Field coach for over 9 years at Simley High School and look very forward to bringing my expertise to the middle school.

During my college years of Track and Field, I was 4 time defending champion in the 400m Intermediate hurdles and 110m High Hurdles and a two-time NCAA Division III qualifier in the 400m Hurdles and place 10th and 7th in the nation during 1981 and 1982 season respectively.

I still hold some relay records back in H.S. that still remain to be untouched. My specialty is relays, sprints, hurdles, and long & triple jump. Again, I hope to interest/influence some middle students into a healthy sport of which I had participated since 4th grade up until I graduated from college and enjoyed so much.

Coach Heath Anderson

After graduating from Moorhead High School, I attended the University of Minnesota Moorhead for my undergraduate work earning teaching licensure in 7-12 English and in k-12 English as a Second Language. I later completed my Masters of Arts degree in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis on educational equity. . I have three years of teaching experience in Taipei Taiwan in addition to my years of teaching at both the high school and middle school level in IGH.
In high School, I was competitive in track and football. At the U of M Moorhead I competed in long and triple jump. I also played several seasons of club-side Rugby with North Dakota State University.

My coaching experiences include two years of varsity track at Moorhead High, 11 years of Middle School track and 7 years of Varsity Nordic skiing. To a lesser degree I have coached hockey, basketball, Special Olympic Alpine Skiing and football.

I look forward to working with our Middle School track athletes this year. Track is a wonderful sport where personal best performance is what makes champions. With hard work every athlete can be proud of their performance
