Coach Young comes to the campus of VSU by way of Norfolk State University where he was the Assistant Men’s Track Coach.Coach Young is very familiar with the CIAA as a student and as a coach. He is a graduate of St. Paul’s College where he coached the Tigers’ track program. Coach Young headed St. Paul’s track program from 1996-1999 and then moved on to Granby High School from 1999-2003 in Norfolk, VA. In 2003, he switched gears to get back into collegiate coaching by becoming the assistant men’s coach at Norfolk State University.
Coach Young has a very enthusiastic approach to rejoining the ranks of the CIAA’s best. “The opportunity to coach track in the CIAA once again is great, however it is a known fact that St. Augustine’s College is a national powerhouse. The only way to compete with them is to have the total commitment from the coach, student-athletes and the administration,” stated Coach Young. “It will take time to build a championship program and it starts with the dedication of the coaching staff,” stated Coach Young.
