Carhoun named assistant track and field coach

SAULT STE. MARIE - Former Northern Michigan University club coach Scott Carhoun has been named an assistant track and field coach at Lake Superior State.

Carhoun, a Stephenson, Mich., native, founded a men's track and field club program at NMU in 2004 and ran it for 2 ½ years. The 2005 NMU graduate with a B.S. in physical education also coached the Stephenson High School track and field team for three years, was a student assistant coach for the NMU varsity women's track and field program and a part-time assistant coach at Central Michigan University.

"Scott brings coaching experience from NMU, CMU and Stephenson High School," LSSU head track and field coach Steve Eles said. "He has a coaching background in a large variety of events, which will be very helpful here at LSSU. He has a lot of recruiting connections. We've always done well recruiting in the Upper Peninsula, and he will help with that. And he has a background in lifting and strength training."

Carhoun's specialties are sprints and hurdles, and he is an experienced weight-lifting coach, which will benefit the Laker jumpers and throwers. He apprenticed with Olympic weight lifter Jason Aun in 2005 and Olympic sprints coach Steve Merlau in 2003, and was a Powerbar "Team Elite" Coach in Training from 2006-08. He served as an instructor at Don Hood's pole vault camp in 2005.

LSSU's track and field squads have more than doubled in size under Eles (LSSU '03), a distance specialist who has headed the program since 2005. This year's track and field and cross country programs have grown to over 90 members, enabling Eles to bring in a second assistant coach, who will be named next week.
