During her tenure she was chair of the steeplechase development committee and saw the addition of that event, as well as, the pole vault, hammer throw and the longer distance races for women.

Sarah has had the privilege of coaching several All-America performers in men’s cross country and men’s & women’s track & field. Sarah says that “I chose Division II” because it provides the ultimate opportunity to be involved in the development of the awesome student-athletes that we have at Missouri S&T. She feels truly blessed to have spent the bulk of her career at this institution! Sarah has two adult children, Carlee and Rafe, and one grandson, Nico.
