Stephen Picucci, who mentored 32 All-Americans in six seasons at Ferris State (Mich.), is now in his third season as the head cross country and track and field coach at Morehead State. He guided the Morehead State men to a second place finish at the 2014 Ohio Valley Conference Cross Country Championship, the program's highest placing since 2006. The Division II Midwest Region Coach of the Year in 2012, Picucci directed the FSU programs to 11 top-25 and three top-10 national finishes. Picucci served as his alma mater's interim head coach for one season before being elevated to fulltime head coach in 2009-10. He began his coaching career as a volunteer assistant at Ferris State in 2007-08. Under Picucci's tutelage, Ferris State garnered 114 All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) honors in track and field. He coached 18 All-Midwest Region athletes and helped guide three to regional titles in track and field. Three cross country athletes also won conference championships. Picucci led the women's cross country program to five consecutive NCAA Championship appearances and men to two berths in the championship, the latter the program's first since 1985.
