Paul Villanueva hired as Shorewood Girls Cross Country Coach

From Don Dalziel, Director of Athletics, Shoreline Schools

Shorewood High School and the Shoreline School District are pleased to announce Paul Villanueva as their new Girls Cross Country coach. Villanueva replaces Daniel Soler who resigned earlier this month after two-years as the T-Bird Girls head coach. Paul will join Miles Mason who was hired this fall to be the Boys Cross Country coach at Shorewood.

This will be Villanueva’s first head coaching assignment. However, he is no stranger to the Shorewood Athletics programs. Since being hired in 2001 as a math teacher at Shorewood, Villaueva has been involved with multiple programs and currently serves as the Assistant Head Track Coach for the T-birds as well as the school's Activities Coordinator.

Dalziel says, "We are excited to have someone with Paul’s credentials and coaching experience. He is a man of character and is well respected in the Shorewood and Shoreline community. He has been successful as an assistant coach and is ready for his chance to be the head guy. We are looking forward to watching Paul grow as a coach and continue to build the Shorewood athletic program. Being a teacher and a coach in the building, we feel fortunate to have someone like Paul to coach this program. He is a leader in his building and an excellent teacher. We look forward to a long run with Paul as a Head Coach at Shorewood."
