After Contreras\u2019 offensive coordinator, Carlos Trujillo, did his work on Friday night during his team\u2019s 39-14 win over Hollywood, he was picked up by car and whisked off to Los Angeles International Airport to take a red-eye flight to Chicago so he could complete the 11th marathon of his life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will never be crazy enough to do one,\u201d Contreras head coach Manuel Guevara said.<\/p>\n
Running 26.2 miles is pretty challenging, but Trujillo has found something he enjoys, and players admire his commitment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe entire varsity [team] wished him good luck,\u201d Guevara said. \u201cIt teaches the kids that coaches challenge themselves in different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll be back for practice on Tuesday as Contreras (4-3, 2-0) prepares for a key Central League game against Bernstein on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Trujillo, 43, said he started running marathons when he was head coach at North Hollywood. He has run marathons in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and New York besides Chicago.<\/p>\n
