Andy Gerard to Coach at George Mason Andy Gerard will be leaving Stanford University to become the head coach at George Mason University in Farfax, Va. "I can confirm from the horse's mouth that it is indeed true," said RRW correspondent, Tim O'Dowd, in an e-mail message to Race Results Weekly. Gerard, Stanford's assistant track coach and men's head cross country coach since August, 2003, will depart on the heels of the departure of Stanford women's assistant track coach and head cross country coach, Deena Evans, last week. Gerard also coached at Stanford from 1993 to 1996, and at William & Mary from 1997 through 2003. "While there is obviously more to this than a simple job transfer, it does bring Andy back to Virginia where his wife Ashley is from," continued O'Dowd. "She's from Williamsburg and ironically, Gerard will now be competing alongside in the Colonial Athletic Association and to some extent recruiting against William & Mary, the school he coached at prior to arriving in Palo Alto." The George Mason University men finished third at the Colonial Athetic Association Outdoor Championships last April behind UNC Wilmington and Virginia Commonwealth University. |
