Coach (Track & Field, Football)

Mark Trezona has coached multiple sports at Apex High School since 1990. After moving to Apex from Fort Pierce Westwood High School in Florida,  Coach Trezona’s Apex tenure started in 1990 as a defensive coordinator for the football team then as a track and field coach in the spring of 1991. After 1994, Coach Trezona focused solely on track and field where he has overseen the men’s and women’s sprints and jumps athletes. During Coach Trezona’s career, the Apex High school track and field teams have won 73% or more of their dual meets, won 23 conference championships and have achieved a combined 32 top ten finishes in the state indoor and outdoor championships. Still, this pales in comparison to the record that Mark has garnered in coaching individual athletes and relay teams. 

As a technician of track and field, Coach Trezona has a keen eye for detail and he has an unparalleled ability to identify and teach potential athletes how to perfect their craft. Thought of by many as the premiere high school pole vault coach in the state, Mark has coached 18 different men and women to conference championships, with 7 of those individuals going on to achieve a state championship. Altogether Coach Trezona has coached 7 individual state champions in men’s outdoor track and field, 10 individual state champions in outdoor women’s track and field, 5 men’s state champions in indoor track and field, and 10 individual state champions in women’s indoor track and field. Added to this is the fact that he has coached 132 athletes to individual conference championships and 32 relay teams to conference championships in outdoor track. 

Coach Trezona’s family has been a fixture at Apex High School for over 3 decades. He and his wife Kim have three children, Sarah, Caroline, and Sam who all graduated from Apex High School. Coach Trezona is an ambassador for track and field. He can often be seen at meets giving encouragement and tips to opposing teams in a consistent show of sportsmanship that defines his character.
