Head Coach Doug Watts
Excellence in
coaching and a
winning tradition
are terms that
have become syn­
onymous
with
Edinboro
University cross
cotmt^ and track
and field coach
Doug Watts. Since
his arrival at
Edinboro in 1%9,
the Running Scots
have experienced nothing but success, pro­
ducing numerous All-Americans and team
championships, as well as four individual
cross coimtry champions and five individual
track first place fmishers.
Watts' coaching credentials speak for
themselves, including 32 consecutive imdefeated cross country seasons and a string of
121 straight dual meet victories. Watts' squads
have also produced a total of six national
championships, including back-to-back-toback NCAA Division 11 titles from 1986
through 1988 and back-to-back NAIA titles in
1975 and 1976. His teams can also boast six
Division II runner-up trophies, plus finishes
of third (twice), fourth (three times), fifth,
sixth (twice), seventh (three times), eighth
(three times) and ninth.
In total, the men's squads have 17 top ten
finishes at the national meet in the last 23
years. His women's program, though yet to
crown a national chanpion, has also estab­
lished itself as one of the premier programs in

the NCAA East Region and on the national
stage. That includes five straight top five fin­
ishes at the national meet, including a second
place finish a year ago. An "uncoimtable"
amount of conference, district, and regional
"Coach of the Year" awards are scattered
throughout his office. He was inducted into
the Edinboro Hall of Fame in 2004.
The National Coach of the Year five times.
Watts has published numerous distance-run­
ning articles for national publications. Twice
an Olympic coach nominee. Watts annually
conducts a summer pre-season endurance
training camp, the Edinboro Distance Village,
for young men and women. In addition, 16 of
his Edinboro athletes have been U.S. Olympic
Trial qualifiers.
Most recently. Watts has ventured into the
administrative portion of his sport, as the past
President of the NCAA Division II Track and
Field Coaches Association and presently serv­
ing as the Vice President of the USTCA
National Coaches Association. In addition, he
was the head of the NCAA Division II Cross
Country Hall of Fame Committee and
presently is on the Board of Directors for the
USTFCCCA (U.S. Track & Field Cross
Country Coaches association).
A 1964 graduate of the University of
Akron with a degree in Health and Physical
Education, Watts began his coaching career at
Walsh Jesuit High SAool in Cuyahoga Falls,
Ohio. He introduced a running program at
Walsh Jesuit that yielded a two-year record of
19-0 and a district championship. Watts and
his wife Margaret have two adult children,
Wendy and Qiristopher.

Edinlyoro’s Cross Country Pliilosopliy
"Generally, we attract the middle distance and distance athlete who is seeking a special
environment for running," says head coach Doug Watts about his track and cross coimtry pro­
grams at Edinboro University. "A student-athlete should consider Edinboro because of the fol­
lowing reasons";
1.
A small school setting, academically oriented, that generally allows for a fuller personal devel­
opment in the classroom, athletic and social activities; yet offers a large, diversified choice ofedu­
cational majors and specialties.
2.
A TEAM concept in training competition.
3.
A distance-based training program integrating selected road races as a training supplement.
4.
Division I schedule of intercollegiate competition.
5.
A program that allows personal direction and individualism, a proper balance between acade­
mics and athletics... and fun.
6.
A tradition ofexcellence and proven success in running within an environment supportive and
respectful of distance runners.

2005 Outlook

2005 Outlook

‘Up Front’ Runners Key to ‘04. Repeat
Ecidinboro townspeople, conditioned for
decades to share their roads with Edinboro
University male cind female runners, are a little
more aware of the college's cross coimtry
teams this fall.
A vety successful 2004 NCAA Division II
National Championship race saw the women
finish second, their hipest finish ever, while
the men came in a solid seventh. That repre­
sented the highest finish since the 2000 team
came in fourtn. Losing only a few "quality"
runners through graduation, the community is
hopim for more good fortune in 2005.
TTie women^ team returns four All-East
Region performers, including three AllAmericans, and as head coach Doug Watts has
alw^s said, "You win the big races up front.
But for any team to finish in me top four, you
need more than talent. In our case, we'll need
some good luck to remain healthy to have a
chance to repeat 2004's success."
Watts can look to a star-packed, upper­
classmen lineup to lead the trophy quest. Last
fall, Julie Nemergut emergea as a real star,
dominating the jfeAC and East Regionals.
Nemergut placed first in both events and was
named the PSAC Runner of the Year and the
East Regional Most Outstcinding Runner.
"At Nationals, Julie raced with a "see if I
can win" attitude," Watts pointed out. "She
paid a big price in the latter stages of the race,
watching people pass her in the last 600 meters
and fading to a tenth place finish." Despite the
collapse late in the race, she earned her first
All-American certificate.
After qualifying for the Nationals last
spring in her first and only outdoor track meet
in early March, Nemergut sat out the rest of file
season with a stress fracture.
Sophomore Rachael Lanzel was the sur­
prise number two Boro runner in the National
Championships. Lanzel finished 24th at
Nationals to earn All-American honors, after a
fifth place finish at the PSAC Championships
and eighth place at regionals. She was named
the PSAC Rookie of the Year.
"Rachel returns with increased mileage,
confidence and her number one proven char­
acteristic - toughness," Watts pointed out.
Earning her first All-American certificate
in 2004, Heather Wilmoth is expected to con­
tinue where she left off. V^ilmoth placed 27th
at Nationals after leading Edinboro in the 2004
NCAA Championships with a 34th place fin­
ish. She earned All-East Region and AU-PSAC

accolades with fifth and sixth place finishes,
respectively.
Watts feels Kelly Richards will make or
break the team's big meet potential. A side
stitch in the last h^ irdle dropped her just
behind the last All-American placing - a fact
she ruefully disdains. He believes Richards is
ready to earn her first cross country AllAmerica certificate this fall. As it was,
Richards placed 38th at Nationals after a fourth
place finish at the PSAC Championships and
ninth place at the East Regional.
"I guarantee Lindsay Roberts will be, at
least, 20 seconds better in every race this year,"
beamed Watts. Starting slow due to an injury
in '04, Roberts progressed steadily to anchor
the National runner-up team. In track she
ualified for Nationals in the 10,000 meters.
tudent teaching could cut into her training,
but she is a proven performer.
Roberts also earned AU-PSAC (10th) and
AU-East Region (7th) honors a year ago, then
went on to place 54th at Nationals.
The sixth experienced runner on the team
is Kiersten Buckley. Buckley's career has been
a series of injuries and illness, but she's been in
the top seven mix each year. If she can main­
tain her focus through November this time
around, the team could be formidable.
Development is expected from redshirt
freshman Emily Quinlan, and PSAC 800 runnerup MicheUe KeUy.
Freshmen Kelly Bergeron, Sarah Baker
and Ashley Ferraro could impact immediately,
and have bright futures.
Do the tmented women have a chance to
^eat their dominant performance of the
PSAC and Eastern Regionals, and win the
National title?
"2005 wdU find new goals, new circum­
stances, and new expectations," noted Watts.
"If each runner continues to grow as an indi­
vidual, revel in the opportunity to clear new
obstacles and apply the Edinboro cross coim­
try work ethic to fiie best of their ability, the
team score wiU take Ccire of itself."
As for the men's team, "the level of suc­
cess this season falls squarely upon the shoul­
ders of the seniors," challenged Edinboro
coach Doug Watts.
In fact, the veteran coach sees two tiers to
this faU's team profile. The first level is com­
prised of the sophomores and freshmen, a
group that has the potential to develop into
"very good National-level" performers.
However, the Edinboro mentor has never

Q

Edinboro University Cross Country/Track & Field 2005

page 2

depended on young runners to make or break
a team's success - especially since this young
group is void of National Meet experience.
^'No," continues Watts, "if we do well in
'05, it will be because our seniors embraced our
past tradition, and came to the early season
prepared to work especially hard £md prove
they will be able to focus on the little min^
that make a team top ten NCAA Division U
material."
Ryan Coon enters his last ceimpaign with
hopes to add his third All-American certificate.
Coon ran a solid race in last year's National
Championship, finishing 17th, to highlight a
late season surge that mcluded the Eastern
Regional individual title. He was named the
Most Outstanding Runner at the regioneil.
In fact, Coon has become well knowm for
his less than spectacular early and mid-season
form, and dramatic improvement in champi­
onship weeks late in the year. He showcased
this style last spring when he ran to AllAmerican placing in tne 10,000 at Nationals in
Texas despite being well down on the list of
season performances.
Senior Jared Lowry has shown signs of
being able to earn an All-American award,
but hasn't had the good day to win one yet.
A multiple AU-PSAC and All-Regional run­
ner over his career, Lowry remains as a sig­
nificant member to 2005 team success. A
year ago Lowry garnered All-East Region
honors after a 13th place finish.
Lowry suffered through a pinched
nerve in h^ back during the track season, but
he is now healthy and ready for a big finish.
Jeremy Boehm, the third senior in the line­
up, could turn out in the classic Boro tradition
of training develcmment. In his sophomore
and junior years, Boehm showed inconsistent
flashes of running meet prowess. After failing
to earn aU-conference or aU-region honors, his
60th place finish at Nationals keyed the &ots
to their seventh place finish. Watts feels he
must run near the front pack this fciU if the Boro
is to repeat such scoring.
Two juniors must also impact the lead
pack. Dan Field had exceUent 2004 cross coim­
try runs, including AU-PSAC and AU-Region
honors, but was pulled before Nationals due to
strep throat.
David Niemira surprised a lot of people
with his huge improvement from the year
before. Niemira sneaked into the top five a
couple of times last fall, and like Boehm, ran
well at the NCAA race.
Jeff McCabe has battled injury and illness,
but the junior is another of the mileage-orient­
ed, hard workers, serious runners who have

dotted Edinboro rosters for 35 years.
Watts promises a couple of more surpris­
es with the sophomores in this year's lineup.
John Moneyhon, David Blend and Nick
Hankins didn't get noticed much last year, but
Watts is excited Dy their improvement.
"These three have top five potential, and
certciinly at the least, give us some depth,"
related Watts. "Just how much this group can
move up into the front runners wiU shape a
lower score."
The incoming freshmen boast a couple of
potential stars, both from New York. Travis
lYojean missed the 2004 high school cross
country season but blossomed in track as he
took fourth place in the state meet (4:17).
John Arthur ran extremely well in high
school cross coimtry, finishing as class "B" runnerup and scoring very high m the tough New
York Federation Championship. He also ran
fourth in his class in the 3200 this spring.
Almost yearly one can hear W^tts pontifi­
cate on the opinion that you win big meets "up
front".
In 2005 Edinboro's lineup must find one
or two athletes to make the move up to the
lead group if the team is to enjoy its traditional
success.

IVatiorial Chairipions

Dave
Antognoli
coach Doug Watts' first recruit back in
David AntognoR
Antognou was head
hi
1969. Antognoli is, according to Watts, the reason Edinboro became
creditable on the national level, and helped lay the foundation for the
successful program that exists today. The recruiting classes of 1972-73
followed in the footsteps of Antognoli and led to Edinboro's six nation­
al team titles.
Antognoli won a multitude of individual titles, including three
national titles, and many All-American certificates in cross country and
track. He was awarded the Sox Flarrison Award as the top male sen­
ior athlete in 1973 after winning the cross coimtry championship in
1971, the NAIA 10,000 meters title in 1972, and the USTFF national
championship in the six mile event. He also was the top collegiate finisher in the 1972 Olympic
Trials.
_______

mT982, in a bmtal combination of calf-deep snow, 20-degree tem­
peratures, and a chilling wind, the crowd at the finish line of the 1982
NCAA Division II championships in St. Cloud, Minnesota was barely
able to make out the faint outline of Greg Beardsley, who crossed the
finish line in a record 60.9 seconds before the rest of the field to win the
national championship. Beardsley recalls his experiences as "great, but
very cold!"
Beardsley won the Sox Harrison Award as the top male senior ath­
lete in April 1983 and was multiple U.S. Olympic Tri^ scorer.

Martin
Lyons
Martin Lyons was attracted to Edinboro due to the strength and rep­
utation of the Running Scots program. The Melbourne, Australia
native had no trouble adapting to Ws move across the globe, winning
the 1991 NCAA Division H incUvidual cross country title as a freshman.
Though he came to the United States with little cross coimtry expe­
rience, coach Doug Watts expected All-American honors from the
Aussie on the merit of his track credentials. Lyons would go on to claim
cross country All-American honors in each of his four seasons at
Edinboro. Only two other runners have accomplished this feat since.
An eight-time All-American in cross country and track, Lyons was
the NCAA East Regional record-holder in cross country, and also hold the school record in the
marathon with a time of 2:21:35, set back in 1995.

YiMinWu
Yi Min Wu became Edinboro's fourth national champion after he won
the 1998 national meet by a 10 second margin with a time of 31:06.60.
Wu did not lose a race throughout his freshman season.
A six-time AU-American in cross country and track, Wu was recog­
nized as both the PSAC and NCAA East Regional 'Ruimer of the Year'
in 1998 an '99. He was the 1999 national track and field runner-up in
the 10,000 meters in addition to winning the PSAC 10,000 meter cham­
pionship. Wu earned his second All-American certificate in track by
also placing sixth in the 5,000 meter run as a freshman. Wu is one of
three nmners to earn All-American honors four times in cross country.
Finally, Wu was named the PSAC Rookie of the Year in track and field as a freshman.

1971

Edinboro University had a pair of ath­
letes earn All-American status at the NCAA
Division II Track & Field Chmapionships a
year ago. Unfortunately, both Ed Brown (dis­
cus) and Ryan Coon (10,000 meters) Imve
used up their eligibility, but head coach Doug
Watts has a number of competitors sure to
make their mark this year.
For starters, Julie Nemergut ran to AllAmerican honors in the 10,000 meters in 2004,
and had provisionally qualified in last year's
first meet before going down with a stress
fracture.
Kelly Richards fell one spot shy of AllAmerican status in the 3,000 meter steeple­
chase, placing ninth. Rachael Lanzel (5,000
meters) and Lindsay Roberts (10,000 meters)

Men

also competed in Abilene, TX last year.
Watts expects the middle and long dis­
tance runners to again be the staple of
Edinboro's scoring. However, he notes that
hepathlete Kristen Malloy just missed the
qualifying mark while earning All-PSAC
honors with a third place finish at the PSAC
Championships. Katie McKendrick was the
PSAC runnerup in the discus as a freshman,
but was redshirted last season due to a shoul­
der injury. Michele Kelly improved to 2:16 in
the 8OO last year, and has the potential to chal­
lenge for Nationals.
A Division I level of scheduling
enhances Edinboro's opportunity to run
against the best in the quest to develop
maximum potentials.
