Tony Coates

Track and field, cross country and road racing, 1979–2007

Every documented race and jump, from a 42 km marathon march in West Germany at 14 to masters meets and half marathons in the 2000s. Search any meet, or move through the years.

About these records. All 338 results come from Tony Coates’s career record of cross-country, track and road races, as of November 7, 2026. Marks, places, dates and sources are shown as recorded.

Tony’s older brother Kevin was his teammate at Mount Clemens High School in 1979–80.

Every meet Tony competed in is included, good or bad. His end-of-season summaries were condensed and sometimes left out meets with poor marks or no height cleared, so where daily logbook pages exist (the 1980 diary, the 1988 journal and the 1988–89 and 1989–90 logbooks) they are the fuller source and take precedence.

Every result here is a real performance. The two tags show only how each one is documented.
