re: Derpythedingo

Does anyone know of any programs that run only the XC crew for their Track program? I will be talking to my AD about starting a Track program (D2) and only using the distance crew. The last conversation that we had, he was only wanting to do it if we did it the "Right Way." Which would be adding additional coaches and having a track on campus. Plus we are short on athletic trainers, and he wants to fix that before we add track. We have only had 1 trainer for 2 years now. We hired 2 last Aug and they quit within 2 weeks for higher paying jobs.

I know that UT Chattanooga and UNC Greensboro run primarily only distance runners (occasional sprinters).

What other school use primarily distance crews for track?

I'm the head coach at Arkansas Tech. We are an all women's D2 program with a track side of only distance (and we have 1 thrower that joined last year). We also only have 2 athletic trainers that cover all of the sports. We don't have a track either - we use the high schools. But I think starting the track side (even if underprepared) is the first step in getting a track, coaches, trainers, etc. It'll also only help the XC kids. My plan is to keep it only distance and throws until we got more funding.

Happy to help in any way I can!

Cal Baptist has a very successful distance only program.

re: Spartiatis

Iona, Furman and quite a few Big East schools do this as well.

re: it is time.

Great opportunity for a coach with a minimum 3 yrs experience and a Bachelor's degree.
Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) Head Track and Field Coach, Newport, RI.
A one year prep school, working with high school graduate Division 1 recruits.
Programming & coaching for all event areas, mostly speed & power development. Multi event background is a plus.
No recruiting obligation for this position. Limited competition schedule compared to most NCAA T&F schedules.
This is a 10 month a year position, but compensation is competitive with full time division 1 mid-major assistant coaching positions.

Iona actually has a bigger sprint crew than they used to, but yes.

Fairfield and Quinnipiac are two examples of programs in the same conference that run XC but not track

The Iona head coach Joe Pienta is a 🤡 . I feel bad for him though. Everyone talks sh!t because of the way he acts

You should try talking to Joe about training. It’s like he never learned a thing about training or running. Whats his background? Its embarrassing

re: Gov Cup

Typical distance coaches not understanding other event areas and coaches that actually can recruit, develop and coach Olympic level athletes while in the ncaa. The list should have at least the following names of coaches active in the NCAAs that have won Team NCAA titles while producing major points in their event area plus more:

Pat Henry

Mike Holloway

Wes Kittley

Boogie brothers

Caryl Smith Gilbert

Edrick Floreal

Petros Kyprianou

Vin Lananna

Chris Bucknam

Dennis Shaver

re: Knowles knows

Expect a number of retirements this summer. Not from old coaches ready to ride off into the sunset...but coaches in their 30's and 40's who are smart enough to see the writing on the wall & listen to their athletic directors when they say "the NCAA is in BIG trouble." Getting out before their profession doesn't exist anymore - at least in its current form.
