Coach Kevin
Murphy
Kevin Murphy comes to Wells
with four years of coaching experience and ten years of competitive running
experience. He most recently was assistant coach of track and field at
Colby-Sawyer College in New Hampshire, where last season 100% of the team
achieved personal bests. Also under his direction, the Ithaca High School
varsity cross-country team was undefeated the past two seasons.
"Kevin brings a wealth of
experience to our new cross country program and we're excited and fortunate
to have him on board," said LaBar. "He has enjoyed varied experiences and
successes in the sport as a competitive runner, coach and educator, and
I am confident that he has the skills and motivation necessary to develop
a top quality program in a short period of time."
Kevin earned a B.S. in human
movement and a M.Ed. in human movement and health education from Boston
University, where he was a three-time all-American runner and captain of
the team, setting two school records in 800m and distance medley relay.
He is a professional runner, competing in the Reebok International in Washington,
D.C. from 1998 - 2000; he is ranked in the top 15 in the U.S. for the 800m.
Kevin holds Level 1 and 2 Track and Field certifications, was a 1996 Olympic
trials quarterfinalist in the 800m, and has also worked as a personal trainer,
real estate salesperson, and construction manager.
"The cross country program
at Wells is young and very promising," said Murphy. "I am proud and
pleased to be given the opportunity to build a tradition of running excellence
at Wells."
