Their Words, His Legacy
How Coach Rego’s work continues to inspire
I’m Madison Wick, a grateful Rego Scholarship recipient. It helped me thrive in college, where I study neuroscience, maintained all A’s, and continued competitive swimming. I broke 4 CSU records and swam at Nationals. Thank you for supporting my academic and athletic journey!
Coach Rego was more than a coach—he was a mentor, friend, and example of true character. He guided me into coaching, where I spent 20+ years trying to live up to his standard. I don’t recall scores, but I remember his lessons, laughs, and quotes. His ripple effect lives on, and I’m proud to be part of it. I miss him deeply.
I met Rego at Union High School, where he was a Security Guard and Coach. On tough days, I’d go to his office—he’d lean back, hands behind his head, sometimes eyes closed, just listening. That quiet support meant everything. Rego was a family man, loyal, funny, dedicated, and passionate about shaping young athletes. A great friend and calming presence—I miss him every day.
