Messiah University Athletics

Head Coach - Men’s and Women’s Track & Field
1979-1994
 
Doug’s track and field teams epitomized excellence, on the track and off. From 1984 through 1992, Messiah won nine consecutive Middle Atlantic Conference titles in women’s track and field, a streak still unbroken in that sport. In 1990, the men’s team won the MAC championship as well. During his career, the women went 107-18 in dual/triangular meets, and the men were 100-23. In addition, Messiah’s men won the NCCAA national title in 1982, and the women’s team followed suit a year later. He coached nine individual NCAA All-Americans, and four relay teams gained that status. Doug was named NCCAA National Coach of the Year twice and MAC Coach of the Year once. Doug always modeled servant leadership and excellence in his coaching.
