ASU Hires Track Coach Vanhoy, Echoing Kraft's Path

Ryan Vanhoy has officially taken the helm as the director of cross-country and track and field at Arizona State University. This move marks a significant career progression, as Vanhoy previously achieved considerable success at Cal Poly. During his time there, he guided the program to a remarkable total of 12 Big West Championships across men's and women's cross-country and track and field events. He also earned the Big West Coach of the Year award eight times.

His coaching career also includes a successful period at Ole Miss, where he helped build the men's cross-country team into an SEC powerhouse. Vanhoy led the team to eight NCAA championship appearances and five regional titles. Greg Kraft, a former head track and field coach at ASU with extensive history at Cal Poly, was consulted during Vanhoy's hiring and expressed strong approval of his qualifications.
