						1985 to 1989 (Sue Johnston, President 1985-88 & Eileen Brennan-Erler, President 1989-90) In 1985, we had a change in coaches, and with it a change in location. With our move to the College of Alameda track, we had our first experience with interval workouts on the track under the direction of our new coach Chris Walsh. When Chris left in 1987, we hired the powerful duo of Jamie Maslach and Patty Grey to coach us. The physical health of the team was further ensured when Tommy Donovan took the Impalas "in hand" and became our permanent, full-time sports massage therapist. During that time, the Impalas adopted the Mills College Track and Cross Country Teams (who were coached by Patty Grey) under a "Little Sisters" program. In the second Olympic Marathon Trials, both Janine Aiello and Laurie Binder added to the prestige of the Impalas by qualifying for this event.
