In his first season (2020) at the helm, Luna took home coach of the year honors, and helped runners Stian Asper and Willa Campion break records. This season, the Hawks are primed for post-season success, with not only Campion and Asper returning, but a crew of strong and athletic runners who are hungry to put Humboldt XC on the map.
