The Troy University Track and Field Program added Anthony Bertoli to the staff this summer
The Troy University Trojans Track and Field program welcomes a new addition to the coaching staff this year, as Anthony Bertoli joins the squad as a staff assistant after graduating from Indiana State University in December 2009.
“We're really excited to have Anthony with us this year,” Director of Track and Field #Jill Lancaster# said. “He brings new energy into our program, and his coaching talents will allow us to maximize our staff with the technical aspects of the sport in the hurdles and jumps as well as our heptathlon and decathlon athletes.”
Bertoli was a member of Indiana State's Track and Field team for four years, competing in both indoor and outdoor events. He earned eight letters during his time at Indiana State. After graduating in December, Bertoli was a volunteer coach at his alma mater, working with the hurdlers, pole vaulters and combined-event athletes.
He continued to build on that success as a coach, as he earned a major distinction in the summer months of 2010. During the summer, Bertoli attended an emerging elite coaches camp at the United States Olympic Training Center in San Diego, earning some valuable experience along the way over the summer.
"Anthony's selection to attend the USATF Olympic Training Emerging Elite Coaches Camp speaks volumes in our sport," Lancaster said. "He was one of 10 selected for the multi event session, and is the second coach on staff to receive this honor as Coach (Chip) Brundage attended the Olympic Training Center Emerging Elite Coaches Summit prior to his arrival at Troy for the throws session."
Bertoli hopes that the experience he gained in San Diego will help him be a successful coach with the Trojans.
“I'm glad that I have the chance to further my career at Troy,” Bertoli said. “This is a great opportunity to further my education and to stay in collegiate coaching. I'm very excited to be at Troy. Being at the camp taught me a lot of new techniques to be a better coach and really broadened my horizons."
