Hired in 2011 as the head women’s cross country coach, Adam Malloy is now the head coach for both men’s and women’s cross country as well as the assistant track coach for distance runners.
“Adam has been great addition to our staff,” said long-time NSU track and field head Leon Johnson. “He has great knowledge about distance running and is doing a wonderful job with the runners. With time, I know he could lead us to the top of the conference.”
Prior to NSU, Malloy was a volunteer assistant for the James Madison women’s cross country team. During his time at JMU, the Dukes captured several team and individual championships, including their first Eastern College Athletic
Conference team and individual championship in 10 years.
Malloy also helped lead the Dukes to the 2009-10 Colonial Athletic Association steeplechase championship and the 2010 CAA cross country team championship.
The Ephrata, Penn. native graduated from James Madison in 2011 with an M.S. degree in kinesiology-sport leadership.
A 2009 graduate of Millersville University of Pennsylvania, Malloy was a standout student-athlete and two-time NCAA qualifier on the cross country team. He was a top finisher for the cross country team on several occasions and cemented his spot in the Marauders’ record books as a top 25 all-time finisher in the 8k (13th) and 10k (24th) courses.
Malloy also contributed on the track, setting school records in the 4x400, 4x800 (second), 400m (sixth), 800m and 3,000m steeplechase (10th). He earned the top spot on the 2009 all-conference 3,000m steeplechase outdoor team.
