Bob Mullen’s Final Lap

After 37 years of shaping champions on the track, Bob Mullen is calling it quits—but not before leaving an indelible mark on Merrimack Valley High School’s program. Starting with a stone dust track and makeshift gear, he transformed it into a premier facility while mentoring generations of athletes, including his own kids. Known for his philosophy of confidence and growth, he helped athletes like Jeremy Hawkes believe in their potential. Now, he’s stepping back to be present for his grandsons, honoring his mother’s influence and thanking the entire community that made his legacy possible. His final race? The New Hampshire Decathlon and Heptathlon Championships—where he first watched the sport with his dad. Retirement isn’t an ending for Mullen; it’s a “new lap of the track.” Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
