Biography - Coach Jim Granucci

I just recently retired after 43 years of public safety service, most recently as the Director of the San Mateo County Forensic Laboratory.

Prior to my service with the Sheriff's Office, I served as the Police Chief for the City of San Carlos for 7 years, and 28 years with the Redwood City Police Department.

My love of Track & Field goes back to my high school days, when I attended San Carlos High School.  After high school, I ran for the College of San Mateo for 2 years before transferring to San Jose State University.

I attended San Jose State where I received my undergraduate degree.  I also attended College of Notre Dame where I received my graduate degree.

I have 5 grandchildren, and we are expecting our 6th in April 2011.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with the other coaches, and the athletes of San Mateo High School.  I will be focusing on High Jump, Long Jump, and Triple Jump this season.
