Coaching for over 50 years, Coach Davis Eidahl is a community leader and figurehead in Pekin Community Schools. Coach Eidahl has been known to purchase shoes and gear for athletes, meals after meets and he even organizes a 5k race each Thanksgiving in Des Moines, donating proceeds to people in need. Many people would call Coach Davis an “unspoken hero” in his town. “Coach Davis is an outstanding representation of what is good in running and high school sports,” wrote another Iowa coach. “Coach Davis is legend,” wrote one athlete’s parent. “I can honestly say that he has taught them crucial life skills as their coach that I never could.” Every nomination for Coach Eidahl mentioned “give back” and “selfless” and “community.” He truly deserves the accolades and reverence that his decades of community service and coaching have generated.
