Welcome Olivia Richmond, GSB’s Cross Country Coach!
This is Olivia’s second year coaching at GSB. Olivia grew up in the midcoast area and attended Lincoln Academy, graduating in 2018. She has been a part of the Track and Field/ XC scene for a total of 9 years between middle school, high school and college. She also coached Track at Lincoln Academy for the past two years, and was GSB’s Track and Field coach this past year. When she isn't coaching, Olivia teaches Art at Nobleboro Central School. She is assisted by Sarah Richards.
Olivia is excited to coach GSB cross country this year. "At its core, cross country is a sport that teaches the benefit of perseverance, teamwork, and for lack of a better word, heart. This is a sport where everyone is welcome, everyone is accepted, and everyone is striving to be better- as an athlete, a teammate, or a friend. Coach Sarah and I are here to help guide those goals."
We wish GSB’s Cross Country Team the best of luck this season! Practice starts Tuesday, 8/26/25.

Welcome Back Assistant Cross Country Coach Sarah Richards!
Coach Sarah Richards has been coaching Cross Country and Track and Field at GSB for 13 years. “My favorite part about coaching is seeing the team spirit that develops between the athletes and lasts for years to come throughout the community. My first team from GSB is now in college, many of whom continue to run in that capacity. This photo of me and my running buddy was taken at the Turkey Trot in November. I was so proud to see more than 25 runners of all ages present whom I had coached over the years. It is always my goal to meet an athlete where they are; whether they have never tried running at all or are experienced and ready to keep going. Respect for team members is the foundation for team spirit and a lot of fun!”
When Sarah is not coaching, she loves riding horses, gardening and art.
Good luck to the GSB Cross Country Team this season! Practice starts 8/25/25.

Welcome Back GSB Girls Soccer Coach Ashley Chickering!
This is Ashley's second year coaching at Great Salt Bay School. Soccer has been a part of her life since she was a child, playing both indoor and outdoors. She loves the game and enjoys sharing that passion with her team. One of her favorite parts of coaching is watching the girls from day one and seeing their progress at the end of the season, "It's amazing to see the effort and hard work each player has put in and how we have all come together as a team working towards a common goal to improve, win games and have fun."
