University of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois needs a new head track coach (sprint/jump coach), new assistant sprint/jumps, and a new throws coach.
St. Francis is an NAIA school that regularly has many many athletes compete at the national meet, has had multiple track and field individual national champions, and has won two cross country team national champions in the last 10 years.
The sprints squad is relatively small currently, but the women’s 4x100m placed 16th at nationals this year and they had a 13th place finisher in the 400m, as well as a few distance runners earning All-American honors.
This is the athletic director’s (Dave Laketa) contact information.
This position has been open for a while now. I can't remember when it was initially posted but I know this is a repost of the same position. Even with the position unfilled for about a year now, the team still has some really nice pieces for an NAIA. Several all-americans on the roster set to return (according to tfrrs) and a 2x national champ in the high jump. Salary isn't incredible but the town is relatively cheap to live in. Makes me curious why this position isn't being filled. Mixed with their recent success in the distance events, this team could actually do some damage at nationals if they can get the hire right.
