Celebration of life for long-time Seattle Pacific track & field coach Dr. Ken Foreman scheduled for January 27th...

Just received a note from Denise Anderson Foreman, the wife of long time Seattle Pacific track and field coach Dr. Ken Foreman (above/photo courtesy Seattle Pacific University), about the planned celebration of life for the USA Track & Field and USTFCCCA hall of fame coach, who passed away on December 23rd at the age of 96.

The celebration of life for Dr. Foreman, who also was the women’s head coach of the 1980 US Olympic team and the 1983 US World Track & Field Championships team, as well as the race director of the 1984 US Olympic women’s marathon trials in Olympia, will be held on Sunday January 27th at Royal Brougham Pavilion on the Seattle Pacific University campus starting at 2:00 pm.

Foreman is considered by Seattle Pacific as the founding father of their athletics department and served three terms as the school’s track coach, the last of which stretched from 1985 to 2000.



Following the celebration, all are welcome to participate in a lap around the Ken Foreman Track outside Brougham Pavilion, the building that he helped build.

To RSVP, please go to Denise’s Facebook page (link is here), so that the folks at Seattle Pacific may have an idea how many are attending.
