Terrell

Let’s get in touch

Terrell Stanley is the Head Track & Field Coach at Bishop Alemany High School and the president and founder of Valley Rush, a nonprofit youth sports organization focused on athlete development, mentorship, and community impact. In his first year leading Alemany’s track and field program, he guided the team to five new school records. He also served as the school’s running backs coach during the previous football season.

Before joining Alemany, Terrell was the running backs coach at Granada Hills Charter High School, where in 2022 he helped lead the football program to its first LA City Section championship since 1987, a SoCal Regional title, and an appearance in the CIF State Division 4-A Championship game—the first in program history. In 2023, as the sprints coach, he helped guide the Granada Hills track team to the CIF State Track & Field Championship, making them the first LA City Section school to win a state title since Dorsey High in 2005. In 2022, he also played a pivotal role in leading the Granada Hills boys track team to its first LA City Section Championship, while the girls team earned a second-place finish.

Born and raised in Pacoima, California, Terrell began his athletic journey in the Valley Youth Conference—competing for the Bears—and later played football at College of the Canyons. He was a member of the historic 2003 COC team that completed the program’s first-ever perfect regular season at 10–0.

With more than 20 years of coaching experience, Terrell has developed a reputation for elevating youth athletes and preparing them for success at the high school and collegiate levels. In track and field, he currently holds 27 Valley Youth Conference records, including the Sub-Gremlin Boys 4×100 meter relay record set in 2018 with a time of 1:19.23—an impressive milestone for a program that has been in the conference for less than a decade.
