head coach brian hull + Brian Hull Head Coach Brian Hull begins his fourth year as the Head Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Coach. Hull, a native of Eureka Springs, Ark., was the assistant men’s and women’s cross country coach at Ozarks from 2001-2003.

Hull has quickly transformed the men’s and women’s cross country teams into competitive regional programs. The 2010 season was another banner year for each program. The men’s team finished second at the American Southwest Conference championships, its highest finish since 1996. Hull also coached three All-Conference runners, the ASC Freshman of the Year and the ASC Sportsmanship Athlete of the Year. Six of his men’s runners received conference All-Academic honors. Two of his runners were named to the USTFCCCA All-Region Team and one of his runners was voted the school’s Male Athlete of the Year. On the women’s side, Hull’s program produced a member of the Capital One Academic All-America Team, the only ASC school to do so, and a pair of conference All-Academic honorees during the 2010 campaign. His men’s team had five top-5 finishes in 2010 and three during the 2009 season. He has had a number of runners compete at the NCAA III regionals. In 2009, one of his runners earned USTFCCCA All-Region Team honors, while two were named to the ASC All-Conference Team. He had a combined six runners earn ASC All-Academic Team status that year. Hull coached the men’s ASC Freshman of the Year in 2008.

Hull’s success at Ozarks began as a student - he was a four-year cross country letterman at Ozarks and was named All-Conference in 1997. He was American Southwest Conference Runner of the Week twice during his career. He graduated from Ozarks in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing. He earned his master’s degree in college student personnel from Arkansas Tech University in 2007. He and his wife, Elizabeth, are the parents of Kaden and Evan.

+ 2011 Season Preview Head Coach Brian Hull is hoping that his returning runners will reap the benefits of their past collegiate racing experiences.

Experience to Propel Ozarks Cross Country Teams Across Finish Line

Coming off a season in which the men’s team finished as conference runner-up for the first time in over a decade, the Ozarks cross country programs are striving for continued improvement. Driven by the expectations set after last season’s success, the men’s team will compete with eight runners this year. Ozarks returns 2010-11 Athlete of the Year award winner Tristan Cooper, along with three other seniors.

“We’ve got a lot of leadership and a lot of experience,” said Hull of his men’s squad.

“I think that’s going to help some of our younger runners develop.”

Cooper, who finished second at the ASC Championships last season, is one of the team’s most seasoned runners and best leaders. It is hoped that his award winning season last year will add some momentum to this year’s team and help catapult the program into a more recognized group of athletes.

“Tristan holds that expectation to do better than he did last year and exceed this year’s expectations,” said Hull. “He is well deserved in that award and the amount of time and energy he puts into it and plus his academics are outstanding. The thing I really like about him receiving that award is that it gives our program some recognition.”

On the women’s side, the squad returns four runners. The team remains focused on moving up the conference ranks from their position at the end of last season. Hull is also hoping to get one of his female runners recognized in some way at the conference or regional level.

“The first goal is of course to do well and improve throughout the season, and once we get to conference in the end of October, just to move up from where we were last year,” said Hull. “Another great goal though would be to try and get one of the ladies into a position to receive some type of conference recognition and then go on to regionals.”

With the team’s collegiate level running experience and work ethic, the women’s squad should have little trouble achieving their immediate goal of improvement.

“They’re just a really good group of girls to coach so I think it makes it a little bit easier to get them to do what they need to be doing, and then with them working as hard as they do to try to achieve their goals, our numbers will be better; the girls will be stronger as a whole.”

David James and Tristan Cooper As long as his runners put everything they have into each competition, Hull will be able to consider the season a success. However, he is counting on both team’s experience to propel them across the finish line with improved times.

The team’s will open the season in September at the Memphis Twilight and then travel to Missouri before coming home to host the first race in school history since joining NCAA III. Ozarks will also host the Arkansnas NCAA III Championships on October 19 in what will be only the school’s second ever home cross country event.
