West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners
A Mountain State of Running
Summersville, WV
Start: 2:00 pm
Family and friends, students and teachers, runners and walkers have come together for several years in honor of David Hypes. Coach Hypes lost his battle with ALS, more commonly know as Lou Gehrig’s Disease on April 9, 2005. As a youngster David was involved in every athletic team he could find. At Nicholas County High School, he focused on his love for wrestling. He continued that love affair during his years at West Virginia University and returned to Nicholas County as a teacher and coach in 1985. David was an inspiration to the students of Nicholas County. We would like to continue to honor his love of education and athletics by establishing a scholarship fund in his name. It is a a good run/walk for a great cause.
