JEREMY CROY RETIRES AS HEAD TRACK COACH, MOVES TO ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT AND INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT

Jeremy Croy has retired as Head Track & Field/Cross Country Coach at Tiffin University.

Jeremy, who has served as Head Coach for 22 seasons, will become the Assistant Vice President for Athletic Development for Tiffin University. In his new role, Jeremy will work with alumni, parents and friends to forward TU's mission through philanthropic support.

Jeremy is one of the most honored coaches in TU history, leading the indoor track and field team to NCAA Division II National Championships in 2016 and 2017. In addition, under his direction, TU has posted 16 individual national champions in track and field since 2008. The Dragons also have had over 279 All-Americans (Academic and Athletic) and shattered every school record on the books.

Coach Croy was named 2021 GMAC Men's Outdoor Coach of the Year, just one of many coaching honors accumulated over his career. He was also named 2020 U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Midwest Region Indoor Men's Coach of the Year along with GMAC Indoor Coach of the Year. The region honor marks the fifth time in the last six years that he has been named the Midwest Region Men's Coach of the Year. In addition, Coach Croy was named USTFCCCA National Coach of the Year and GLIAC Coach of the Year for the 2017 indoor season. In 2016, Coach Croy was named GLIAC Coach of the Year and National Coach of the year as his 2016 men's indoor track and field team won Tiffin's first NCAA Division II National Championship.

Both track and field squads also gained their highest ever conference placing in Coach Croy's first season and continued that success during their last season in the NAIA with the men's squad winning their fourth consecutive conference championship. Coach Croy was also recognized as the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 American Midwest Conference (AMC) Coach of the Year for winning the AMC Championship and finishing the season with a record of 51-2 in 2007.

Jeremy was also named GLIAC Outdoor Track and Field Coach of the Year in 2011 and followed up that season with NCAA II Regional Coach of the Year honors as well. He replicated the feat in 2014 with the GLIAC and NCAA Regional Indoor Track and Field Coach of the Year award.
