“Coach Urban does a fantastic job taking our County Track & Field Championship meet to the next level! He provides exciting and in-depth commentary that is engaging to our audience and relevant to our athletes! I have consistently heard from families and spectators how much they enjoy someone providing commentary and insight into a track meet. I highly recommend Coach Urban to anyone looking to take their track meet to the next level!”

• Patrick Canterbury, Meet Director, Pickens County Championship

“I was very impressed with Urban Announcing at the NCAA D1 Southeast Regional XC Championship (2023). Robert’s deep knowledge of the sport and his ability to relay the race data from our Commentator Information System kept athletes and spectators well-informed. His passionate delivery and eclectic musical playlist kept the energy high and made the event even more enjoyable to be a part of.”

• Ryan Jank, Flash Results Inc.

“Building on a lifetime of experience, first as a competitor, then as a coach, now as an announcer, Urban Announcing is second to none. His professionalism and preparation is unmatched. Best part: he's still striving to improve. The New Year's Day Champagne 5K wouldn't have been the same without him, to say the least.”

• Chad Plamer, RunGSP, Race Director, New Year’s Day Champagne 5k and Love Where You Live 5k & 10k

“Creates a great atmosphere for a cross country meet. Keeps spectators informed and updated.”

• Carson Blackwelder, Director of Cross Country / Track & Field, University of South Carolina - Upstate

  Meet Director, 2023 D1 Southeast Region XC Championship & Upstate Invitational

“Urban Announcing definitely elevated the meet experience for us compared to events without him. We look forward to having him back in 2024.”

• Jake Krolick, Director of Cross Country / Track & Field, Queens University

“We added Urban Announcing to our event for the first time this year (2023) and was a great decision that improved the quality of our event! Knowledgable about the sport and the programs competing and brought a lot of excitement to the event. Robert was on top of everything and very easy to work with in planning ahead of the event.”

• Jason Creasy, Meet Director Carolina Distance Carnival; NC MileSplit Associate Manager

“Urban Announcing did an excellent job announcing the South Atlantic Conference Championships (2022). With race updates throughout the competition and knowledgeable team information, the crowd and the environment was electric! We will definitely work with them again!”

• Jason Bryan, Head Cross Country / Track & Field Coach, Catawba College

“Awesome experience for our team and spectators, it really made the meet enjoyable and kept everyone engaged.”

• Cory Carson, Head Track & Field Coach, Greenville High School

“I thought you did a great job researching the meet beforehand to know the top teams and individuals that would be competing. Also liked how you had a “script” with prepared remarks that were specific to the meet such as meet records, top performers and recognizing school officials. That and your knowledge and experience with the sport really helped add to the experience. My varsity athletes really liked the experience of being recognized before the meet. Lots of attention to detail that helped pull everything together.”

• Chris Ardis, Assistant Cross Country / Track Coach, Northwestern High School

“I'm not sure that I knew what our race (Starlight Run) was missing until we added Urban Announcing - these services truly elevated our event to the next level. He was professional and kept the crowd completely engaged in each race. Urban Announcing will be a must for us at future races!”

• Dena Long, Head Cross Country Coach, Riverside High School

“Coach Urban adds a lot of excitement to the events he announces and is very good at explaining different "nuances" of racing that helps spectators understand the "flow" of the race. His knowledge of the sport and his research of teams/participants adds to the enjoyment of the competitions.”

• Jerry Kimbrell, Head Girls Cross Country/Track Coach, Dorman High School

“You do your homework, and understand the sport.  You do a great job, and we appreciate you adding to the meet atmosphere at our Region Championship.”

• Jeff Buys, Head Boys Cross Country Coach, Dorman High School
