Go the Distance

Coach Blair Vignes

Coach Vignes grew up in Louisiana and now calls Miami Beach home. She began competing in Cross Country and Track nine years ago at the high school level, quickly developing a deep passion for the sport. Through relentless dedication, she climbed the ranks and, as a junior, secured 15th place in the state of Louisiana, earning a spot among the state’s Top 15 All-State runners.

Throughout High-School, Vignes dominated the competition, earning three-time Cross Country MVP honors, winning four District titles in track, and shattering both a 32-year-old 3200m record and a 16-year-old relay record. Her outstanding performances led to her being named the 2018 Outstanding Track Runner of the Year.

At the collegiate level, Vignes competed at both NCAA Division I and II levels, where she continued breaking barriers. She set her college’s 3K track record four times and was named Second-Team Sunshine State Conference Runner for Cross Country. In 2022, Vignes was named the “Sunshine Athlete of the Week” for Cross Country after being the first D2 runner to cross the line. In 2022, she capped off the year by being named the MVP Runner for both Cross Country and Track at her University.

Vignes understands that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about putting in the work, learning from every challenge, and staying determined, no matter the setbacks. Now, as a coach, she brings that same mindset, inspiring and pushing athletes to reach their full potential.
