MIKE WOODS NAMED SUNYAC OUTDOOR TRACK & FIELD
COACH OF THE YEAR

FREDONIA, NY – Geneseo Head coach Mike Woods has been named the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Coach of the Year. The award is voted on by the conference coaches and given out annually at the conclusion of the championships.

Woods, in his tenth season with the Knights, guided both his teams to conference titles at the SUNYAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships held Saturday at Dietz Stadium in Kingston, NY. The men’s team narrowly defeated Cortland 157-151 to claim their first-ever outdoor championship. The women’s team also upset Cortland, winners of the last five championships, by a score of 160-111. Their victories also marked the first time in SUNYAC history that a school has swept the men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field titles in the same season.

Woods and the Knights travel to St. Lawrence this Friday to take part in the New York State Collegiate Track Conference Championships (NYSCTC).
