Wondering about the California State University-Stanislaus Cross Country and Assistant Track job thats open right now? Anyone know much about that program or have an inside scoop on who might have the inside track on that position? Looks like they are hiring a Head Track Coach as well. Looks like a good job with some great potential in NCAA DII.
My guess is that Miguel Nuci has a great shot at it if he's interested. He's been one of the assistants there for a number of years now, has a good resume as a competitive runner, and he ran at Stanislaus in college.
What happened to Kim Duyst? She was a good coach. did she retire? kind of a weird time to do that. or if the administration asked her to leave (a mistake) it's bad timing on their part too.
their web site has her listed as an assistant AD
is that what she switched to or has she always held that position?
Kim is still there as the head coach, they are looking for someone to replace the sprints/jumps coach who got the head job at Cal Poly Pomona this year. I doubt this position is for a distance coach, she does that. but they will probably be expected to help out in XC
The job is listed as the cross country and assistant track coach. I am sure it will be someone who runs the cc program an d coaches the distance and middle distance runners on the track. Thats what the job is posted as-not much of a mystery. They are also hiring a head track coach. That person will take over the sprint hurdles stuff I would imagine.
Kim is now the A.D. at Stanislaus State. They are apparently looking for a head track and field coach, and a head coach who would then act as an assistant track coach in the spring. This seems to be the way most of the CCAA schools arrange it.
Where is the job listed? I looked around some and could not find it. Just curious since I ran there at one time.
When I ran there in the late 80's it was a very small town and the track/univerity was in the middle of field with no trees. We stayed in a motel near Hwy and there was nothing to do. Is the town bigger now and offer something to do?

turkey tipping!
The college is now surrounded by homes. All the fields are gone within a couple miles of the campus. The number of buildings on campus has doubled. The old dorms across the street have been torn down years ago and a new complex has been put up on the north side of campus.
It was nice when there were no homes around. Not as busy. Running was easy cause there was no traffic. Of course you still have to deal with the cows, the smell, and the heat in the summer.
As far as things to do??? There is always Modesto.
Ummm, where else would it be listed? NCAA website like 99% of the others.
So what's up with Nuci? Is he already on the payroll? That guy is one hell of a runner and runs like a machine!
Turlock represent! Smith Chevrolet rules!
Nuci is racing the Olympic Marathon Trials in NY on Saturday (11/3/07). He is not an assistant to Stanislaus Track... he never has been, but several of the runners on the team go to him for advice. The new head track coach is Geoff Bradshaw (a former athlete of Duyst's) and Diljeet Mendoza (another former athlete of Duyst's) is said to be heading up the distance department when Kim leaves (Track 2008). Both should be interesting to watch as Diljeet was a standout runner at Stanislaus and part of the Nike Farm Team.
Actually, Diljeet's contract started today, as reported in the Modesto Bee. I'm sure she won't really take anything over until after regionals or nationals, should Stanislaus make it.

I think the men's team has a fair shot at ncaa's, but as for the women, only Frier and McNair really have a shot at it... not the team.
