Swim

Head Coach Gretchen Wesbrock

Gretchen Wesbrock, or as the swimmers call her, Coach G, has swimming in her blood! She began swimming competitively as a four-year-old. Her older brother found a love of the sport, and she decided to follow in his footsteps…or flippers. She continued her USA swimming career through high school at Mountain View High School in Mesa, Arizona. She had the opportunity to swim on the women’s state winning team! Swimming took her to college at Northern Arizona University where she made the difficult decision to hang up her goggles and get involved in leadership at NAU. She has taught swim lessons, lifeguard instructor training, water safety instructor training, CPR, and first aid for the American Red Cross. Coach G began coaching as a junior in high school for the City of Apache Junction Rec Team and the Red Mountain Country Club team. She has coached age groups all the way to master swimmers. This is Coach G’s eighth season as the head coach for the Marauders. Her philosophy is that swimming is a lifelong sport that helps build character and pushes athletes past their barriers.

Boys Basketball

Head Coach Austin Hudson

I am very excited to be taking on the role of head boys basketball coach at Mingus. Prior to coming to Mingus, I had five successful years as the athletic director and head boys basketball coach at the Orme School, including two Elite 8 appearances, one Final 4, one CAA North Region Coach of the Year, and five high school seniors earning college basketball scholarships during my tenure.

Having grown up in this area, I am well-aware of the long-standing tradition of athletic excellence at Mingus. I see a tremendous amount of potential in the young men of our basketball program to achieve excellence in terms of character, academic success, team success, and life after high school.

My vision for the future of our program is centered on taking a relationships-based approach between coaches, players, and the community. We will create a family-like environment in which the young men of our community are nurtured to become not only successful student-athletes, but contributing members of society after graduation, and great fathers and husbands.

Head Coach Christine Walter

My name is Christine Walter. I am the head coach of Mingus Union High School. I grew up in the Verde Valley. After high school, I played soccer collegiately at Scottsdale Community College and then Colorado Mesa University. I currently hold a USSF D coaching license and coach for Arizona Arsenal Soccer Club. I love everything about the game of soccer, and I am excited to help grow our athletes at Mingus Union High School.

Our team expectation for the Mingus Women’s Soccer program emphasizes a student-athlete centered environment. We want to create an overall positive experience for all our student-athletes within the program. Our goal is to ensure we focus our training on developing tactical and technical understanding. We will grow our strength/conditioning and a committed focus to get better every day. We want all players and families to continue to have a strong passion for the game of soccer.

Baseball

Head Coach Erick Quesada

My name is Erick Quesada, and this is going to be my fifth year as the head varsity baseball coach at Mingus. I was born and raised in Cottonwood and am a 2011 alumnus of Mingus. After high school, I attended ASU for one year then played collegiate baseball at Chandler-Gilbert Community College for two years, two summers in a collegiate summer league in Virginia, Western Oregon University for one year, then finished at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth. After my senior year, I was a graduate assistant coach at Texas Wesleyan before returning back home to teach and coach. For the past six years, I have worked for USA Baseball where I evaluate and scout some of the nation’s best baseball players ranging from 14 to 18 years old.

Softball

Head Coach Shawna Figy

My name is Shawna Figy. I have been coaching softball/baseball for over 16 years in the Verde Valley but have been around the game since I was two years old. I played Little League, high school, and college softball. I have been blessed to coach at Mingus for the last seven years, learning from a phenomenal coach and staff, and am excited to take on the varsity head coach role this season. Coaching has been something I wanted to do from a young age. I learned through my experiences with good and bad coaches what I wanted to be like as a coach. I do not take coaching lightly. I am a competitive person, but I know that there is more to sports than winning. I believe when you do the little things right, winning will happen on its own. The biggest little thing is discipline in my opinion. So many life lessons can be learned and character can be built through sports, and the coaching method affects both of those things in an athlete. Every player is important and has something to contribute to their team. Communicating with athletes the expectations and roles is also extremely important.

Student Athletes — Student Role Models

Not every student will make the team. Athletes selected as team members carry the responsibility of giving their best to the team and positively representing our school.

Academics First

We believe sports are an important part of the high school experience; however, our athletes know that academics come first.

To maintain participation eligibility, students must demonstrate passing grades in all classes. We verify eligibility with a three-week grade check. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm eligibility.
