Adam Tribble begins his first season as assistant coach at Oregon State after spending five years at Arkansas as an assistant coach. Prior to joining the Razorback staff, he served in the same capacity at the University of Georgia. He helped coach the Razorbacks to three straight SEC Cross Country Championships over the past three seasons with the team tallying a pair of runner-up finishes as well the prior two years. Arkansas never fell out of the top 20 at the NCAA Championships under his watch and finished as high as fifth in 2006. While a student at Georgia, Tribble was a two-year captain of the Bulldog track and field team, earning All-Region honors in cross country. During that time, he also found time to assist with the Athens Christian School in 2000 and act as lab assistant for an endurance and research study in 2001. He also finished 46th in the U.S. Olympic Trials in the marathon in 2008. "Adam's background is very solid having worked for and under one of the top women's distance coaches in the country in Lance Harter," Sullivan said. "The Arkansas program year in and out has been one of nation's top programs. So he brings a new energy that I know this group of women is excited about and so am I. I received calls from all over the country recommending him, and both the committee and the team members who were a part of the process all felt he was the best. So we are all excited!" A 2002 graduate of Georgia with a degree in health and physical education, Tribble immediately went to graduate school at his alma mater and earned a master's in movement studies. |
