Research Paper- Which NCAA XC coaches were good NCAA runners?

marcus o'sullivan at villanova

no one has mentioned Mark Carroll from Auburn. Irish record holder, 2 time olympian, multiple all american (maybe with a national title thrown in there for good measure)....13:03 guy at a pro...

Pete Julian: All-American at University of Portland, Pan-Am Games bronze medalist, coach at Washington State

Courtney Babcock coaches at U of Montana

she's pretty dang good. Mile PR of low 4:30s and a Canadian Olympian I think.

Billy Nelson at CU.

Larry Wieczorek at Iowa, All-American and Big Ten Champion

Nolan Swanson (Wake Forest) used to coach at d3 SUNY Fredonia

Francie Larrieu Smith (five-time Olympic qualifier) coaches at Southwestern University, a DIII school in TX.

James Vargo - Bellarmine

For a research paper final.

You never hear about the best HEAD coaches running credentials?? Most of them came from the NCAA but not many were big time runners? Why do you think that is?? Which ones were great???

Your internet kung fu is... weak. Here's what the desire to avoid doing some work, Google, an internet connection, and twenty minutes got me.

(Now go take an hour of your own time, go 25 deep men and women, and do some research for you RESEARCH paper final)

Top 10 Womens Team at 2010 NCAAs:

Villanova - Gina Procaccio - 3x All-Am in Relays at Nova; #1 US @ 3000 and #2 US @ 5000 as a pro.

Florida State - Karen Harvey - Multiple All-Am in Track and XC at Michigan. Former Canadian record holder and 1998 World #1 in the Steeple

Texas Tech - John Murray - no competitive info on his bio

Georgetown - Chris Miltenberg - All-Am indoor 3k at Georgetown

New Mexico - Joe Franklin - Conf level mid-distance runner

Colorado - Mark Wetmore - no competitive info on his bio

Stony Brook - Andy Ronan - All-Am at Providence. Irish Olympian, 2:11 mar

Iowa State - Corey Imhels - sub 4:00 at Iowa State, but apparently never an All-Am

Providence - Ray Treacy - 3 time All-Am at Providence

Syracuse - Chirs Fox - Conf level at Auburn, but a late bloomer - Pro PRs of 3:59, 13:21, 27:53 and 2:13:40

I think Wisconsin's Mick Byrne ran low-4 for the mile and later 2:17 for the marathon but I could be wrong ...

Thomas Morgan is an assistant coach at Kentucky.

mick was a fine college runner.

eric nedeau at amherst and mark lech at maine were excellent middle distance runners at northeastern.

THE Ohio State University

Robert Gary

2 Olympic teams (steeplechase) and 10 World Cross Country Teams (4000 & 12,000m)

Doing "research" for a final research paper on Letsrun.com=instant fail.

Roger Kingdom, former world record holder in 110HH and Two time Olympic champ.... Clifornia (PA).

Brian Baker, head XC/track coach at Gardner-Webb University (NC). Key guy on Arkansas' 92-93 and 93-94 triple crown teams. Individual Indoor DMR Champ and Outdoor 5K in 94. Made some noise on the professional circuit as well.

Todd Harbour..Baylor

Coach Bryan Berryhill of Colorado State University was a fair country runner. He won the 2001 NCAA Div I Indoor 1 Mile and a few months later won the NCAA Div I Outdoor 1500 Meters. I believe he ran around mid 3:50's for the 1 Mile. Good range from 4 x 4 duties, 800 on up to Cross Country.
