2026 PVXC Coaches and Staff
Coach Keith Browning has been a volunteer coach at PVHS since 2025. His journey into coaching was inspired by supporting his son’s high school cross country team, and he hopes to give back by sharing his passion and experience with the next generation of runners.
Keith has been an active member of the Illinois and St. Augustine running community for nearly two decades. He competed in the Jacksonville Grand Prix circuit in 2024–2025, finishing third overall, and has raced distances from 1 mile to marathons. Nineteen years ago, he set out to complete a “bucket list” marathon and has been running and racing ever since. Along the way, he achieved many of his own personal record goals while also serving as a pacer in marathons and half marathons to help others reach theirs. Transitioning into coaching has felt like a natural and rewarding progression from his years of pacing.
Running has also been deeply meaningful in Keith’s personal life—he met his wife and many close friends through the sport, and one of his four children now competes as a Division I runner in Illinois. He hopes to inspire PVHS student-athletes to embrace running not only as competition, but as a lifelong pursuit for fitness, friendship, and community.
Bridgett Vadeboncoeur is proud to serve as one of the volunteer cross country coaches, bringing over 20 years of recreational running experience to the team. A graduate of Flagler College, Bridgett also holds a Master of Science degree from the University of North Florida. She has been a lifelong athlete with a deep love for competition, consistently participating in the local Gate River Run, completing multiple half marathons, and finishing two full marathons.
Bridgett is married to Tyler Vadeboncoeur and is the proud mother of two daughters both of whom have been part of the cross country program (Banks PVHS class of 25) and Finley (PVHS class of 28). Her favorite part of coaching PVXC is forging trusted relationships with the coaching staff, student-athletes, and their families. She is dedicated to supporting each runner’s journey, both on and off the course.
Coach Lydia Reimer has been a volunteer coach at PVHS since 2024. A proud member of PVHS Class of 2018, she ran cross country and track and field throughout high school, competing in three State Championships for cross country and three for the 4x800 relay in track. Lydia raced in every varsity meet during her high school career and continues to be passionate about the sport.
After graduating, she attended the University of Florida (Class of 2022), where she ran casually with friends to stay connected to her love for running. She now lives in Jacksonville Beach and works in a chemistry lab in downtown Jacksonville— an unconventional lab schedule means she can’t always make every practice or meet, but she brings her full energy when she’s there!
Lydia has been running since age six (yes, there’s photo evidence of her on the track with a baton) and still loves it every day. Her next personal goal is to run a marathon. She’s grateful for the lifelong lessons running has taught her and is excited to help share those experiences with the next generation of athletes!
Stephanie has lived in Ponte Vedra since 2004. She ran Cross Country/Track and Field at Fort Caroline Junior High. She has danced since the age of 3, and continued with dancing and cheering all through Middle School, High School (Terry Parker), and college (JU), where she was a dance major. Stephanie's love for FSU took her away from dance after 2 1/2 years at JU. This is where running came back into the picture. She began the Early Childhood program at FSU and started running for exercise. Then she ran her first River Run and received her first of many top 10% finisher hats. After graduating from FSU, she taught Pre-Kindergarten at The Bolles School for 11 years and then took a break to stay home with the baby of the Family. The past 6 years Stephanie has been teaching Kindergarten at Ocean Palms Elementary School. In 2005, she ran her first marathon. Stephanie continues to run the River Run every year and she has completed many 1/2 marathons, but the Marathon is her favorite! Stephanie is happily married to her husband, Michael Seese. They have 4 children, Marley (UCF), Wyatt (Stetson), Rowan (PVHS), and Toby (Ocean Palms Elementary). This will be her 3rd year as a volunteer coach for PVXC. It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to do something you love and share that love with others. Stephanie will coach all season but come August she has to go back into her Kindergarten classroom, but we will get on those Saturday race day mornings.
