Sprints Coach Megan Daw enters her first season as an assistant coach with the Defiance College track and field teams, where she will serve as the Jackets’ primary sprints coach. Daw joins the DC coaching staff after graduating from John Carroll University in May, 2010. As a four-year letterwinner on the JCU track and field team, Daw was twice selected as a team captain for the Blue Streaks, and was a three-time Ohio Athletic Conference Championships qualifier. The Pittsburgh, Pa. native also spent two years serving as the aquatics supervisor for JCU’s recreation department, where she was directly responsible for the hiring, training and supervising of employees, as well as developing and implementing new programs and events for the department. Daw’s responsibilities at DC will primarily consist of working with athletes in sprinting events, as well as scouting and recruiting potential athletes for the track and field teams. The remainder of her time in Defiance will be spent pursuing a master’s degree in education. |
