ANDY HAHN NAMED ST. CLAIR CROSS COUNTRY HEAD COACH

WINDSOR, Ont. - The St. Clair College Athletic Department is pleased to announce Andy Hahn as the new Varsity Cross Country Head Coach.  Hahn fills the vacancy left after Mark Beens resigned following the season for personal reasons.
 
Hahn, who is a health and physical education teacher at Essex District High School, comes to St. Clair with an outstanding background in cross country along with track and field from the University of Windsor as both an athlete and coach.  While earning his Bachelor of Human Kinetics in Sport Management along with his Bachelor of Education in Intermediate/Senior Secondary Physical Education from the University of Windsor he was a two-time Canadian National team member in Cross Country and Road Racing, four-time CIS All-Canadian in Cross Country/Track and Field, NAIA All-American in Track and Field, five-time All-OUA Conference Cross Country/Track and Field and four-time Track and Field Team Captain.
 
As a coach Hahn has decorated Essex District High School with eight WECSAA Team Titles, three SWOSSAA titles and one OFSAA title along with seven OFSAA individual medals. He has also helped coach the University of Windsor with nine conference team titles, five national team titles, three National Individual Champions and fifteen CIS Individual All-Canadians. As a board member and organizer with the Windsor Legion Track and Field Club Hahn has coached four athletes on the Canadian National Team in both Cross Country and Track and Field.
 
Hahn has achieved NCCP Level Three Technical and Practical for Track and Field in Middle Distance, Distance and Cross Country and was part of the organizing committee with the Pan Am Junior Track and Field Championships that Windsor hosted in 2005.
 
Commented St. Clair College Athletic Coordinator Ted Beale, “Andy is one of the most decorated athletes this community has ever produced in distance running and that success moved forward into his coaching career at the club, university and high school levels.  Aside from having the technical background he is a very engaging person who our St. Clair student-athletes will enjoy competing for as we build a team for the future to compete provincially and nationally.  I have no doubt that Andy will be a fine coach at St. Clair and create a tremendous profile for our program.”
