A Pingry Education
"Pingry provides not only an education—any school can do that—but also a space for teaching students to be stewards of that education. It's not just 'Here are the tools to succeed in the world,' but also 'How are you going to brandish those tools to better your community?'" —Mike Coakley, Middle School teacher

“I didn't realize such a research-based class was even possible in high school. I interviewed at other schools and they didn't have anything like this, or the resources to support it.”—Morgan D'Ausilio, Upper School science teacher

The Alumnus Author Speaks!

In 2000, runner Chris Lear ’92 published his book Running with the Buffaloes: A Season Inside With Mark Wetmore, Adam Goucher, and The University of Colorado Men’s Cross Country Team, an in-depth account of the 1998 team’s season. Voted one of the top five best books about running by Runner’s World magazine (2009), Running with the Buffaloes was a natural outlet for Mr. Lear, a 2007 inductee into Pingry’s Athletics Hall of Fame for his own accomplishments in cross country and track at Pingry and Princeton University.

Twenty years after the events that unfolded in Colorado, LetsRun.com has published an interview with Mr. Lear; in it, he credits classmate Andrew Goldstein ’92 for being his editor and a wonderful mentor as a writer. As stated prior to the Q&A, readers who have not read the book and want to avoid spoilers are encouraged to read the book first!
