He took over women's program (actually all track and CC this year) and they win regionals and could go top 5 at National's.
Got the men's team to National, which no one thought would happen.
From the MSU roster the top five offered the following credentials
All from Michigan small schools Division 3 & 4 except Voss Saline D 1
Very little notice in high school except Shay & Voss who received some state & national attention Has more small school athletes red shirted this year.
No imports from abroad. a no nonsense kind of guy who loves to win. More like a football coach. Wait until high school runners from the rest of the country find out about Drenth they may catch Wisconsin
To develop this group of high schoool runners to the level they have accomplished is great coaching.
