Danielle Fischer

Head Coach

Girls Varsity Cross Country

I am in my 7th year as the head coach of girls’ xc at BG and my 6th year as head coach of the track and field program. Since 2013 I have developed a solid foundation and competitiveness in the middle and distance programs.

I have coached a NH XC Gatorade runner of the year as well as a Track and Field Gatorade runner of the year, Nike Cross National qualifier, several New England qualifiers in both XC and Track and Field and multiple NH XC All State recipients.

Out of my 7 years coaching xc, I led the team to 1 state title and 6 runner up team finishes. In track and field I have coached 2 State titles and 3 runner up finishes.

Individually I have coached multiple athletes to 19 state titles in the 1k, 1600m, 3k, 3200m, 2 in the 600m, 2 in the 800m, 4x4 relay and 6 4x800m relay state titles as well as 3 individual XC state titles.

Personally I am a triathlete, competitive Cat 2 cyclist, marathoner and ultra marathoner with several age group top finishes. In my free time I enjoy hiking in the White Mountains with my family and have completed the Presidential traverse over 10x with a personal best of 8 hours and 50 minutes for 19 miles with 9000’ of climbing.

Prior to my athletic accomplishments I spent my earlier days flying airplanes. I am an airline type rated pilot in the MD80, 737 and have my Flight Engineer and Aircraft Dispatcher certificates. I have logged over 4500 flying hours and I am a graduate of Purdue University.

My biggest accomplishment in my life is raising my 6 children (ages 19, 18, 14, 11, 7 and 4) with my husband of 26 years in Merrimack NH.
