Mike will get started in his first year at Amherst and will be responsible for the Sprints and Throws, as well as coordinating the Strength and Conditioning programs for the team. Prior to the start of his Amherst College coaching tenure, Mike was an assistant coach the past two years at Springfield College working with their jumpers, throwers and sprinters. Before coming back to his alma mater, he was the Head Coach of the Boys and Girls Team at E. O. Smith High School in Connecticut. Mike graduated from Springfield College in 2008 with a Degree in Business Management, and then earned his MS in Advanced Level Coaching from there in 2012. While at Springfield, he was one of the region's best decathletes and jumpers, earning ECAC Titles in 2006 and 07 in the multi while winning conference honors in the high jump, and was the team MVP in 2008. He has participated at the national level in the sport, earning a Javelin Championship at the Club Nationals in 2010 and his knowledge and success in a breadth of events will be of tremendous benefit to the program.
