Apparently non-notable athlete. This article was prodded for deletion on 13 March 2009, but the prod was removed on 18 March 2009 on the grounds that a "University head coach is notable". Now this may be true, but I have searched Wikipedia and cannot substantiate this. What we have here is the head coach of a university (i.e. a glorified PE teacher) who has NOT been in the 1996 Olympics and as far as I can tell (and I confess to not being a sports or athletics expert) totally fails to meet the notability criteria at Notabilty (sports). Perhaps wiser counsel may give an opinion on this guy's notabily. Emeraude (talk) 20:33, 27 November 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Weak Delete the fact that he won an NCAA individual championship gives him some notability, but there's not enough else there for me to say it's enough. -Drdisque (talk) 19:58, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
