There wouldn't be a VanLeur Chronicles series without him. In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with South Dakota Hall of Fame Coach VanLeur to go over his remarkable coaching career in Emery. We talk about the milestones of his 40+ year career: from the early years in the 80's, to the '93 team that made the first playoff run; and the first title team in 2001. Was a pleasure to talk to Coach, thanks for listening.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there! Especially to my Dad, Terry Janssen. I sat down with my Dad on a recent trip home to discuss his formative years growing up in Emery, and when basketball and baseball first became a thing in his life. Very proud to get to hear my Dad's story of incredible resilience, and share it on The Town Mile. Thanks for listening.

June 10, 2023 #51 Tony Klock
The VanLeur Chronicles series continues with Tony Klock. Tony was at the forefront of Emery teams that broke the mold in 1993/'94 and made the State Championship in both football and basketball. Remarkably, Tony was the 300m Hurdles Champion in all classes in South Dakota: without a track to practice on. Simply put, there is no Town Mile without Tony Klock.

Jamin Arend joins the Town Mile Podcast for the 2nd installment of the VanLeur Chronicles. A great young man who comes from a long line of Arend Emery royalty, we're stoked to have him join for a great conversation. One correction: in the intro I mentioned he started playing football in 2001; this may be true, but unlikely since he was born in 2001. Thanks for listening.
