WEST HAVEN, Conn. - Nicholas Noheimer has been named the head coach of the New Haven men's and women's cross country teams, as announced by Associate Vice President, Director of Athletics and Recreation Deborah Chin.

"I'd like to welcome Nicholas to the New Haven community," said Chin. "He has helped develop individual student-athletes and teams into All-Americans on the course and seen them flourish academically, while helping to mentor them into valuable members of our society. His enthusiasm and energy for the Chargers make him a perfect fit for the University and the cross country programs."

"I'm excited to be joining the University of New Haven family," Noheimer said. "With the support structure we have in the athletic department, I am confident in our ability to succeed, both on the course and in the classroom. I'm also looking forward to helping create valuable role models and contributors in the community."

Noheimer comes to the Chargers after spending last season as the head coach at Lasell College in Newton, Mass. Prior to joining the Lasers, he worked for a season at Northeast-10 Conference rival American International as an assistant coach. While there, he helped guide Yellow Jacket runners to five All-America placements combined between cross country and distance events for indoor and outdoor track and field.

Before becoming a member of the staff at AIC, Noheimer spent two years as a graduate assistant for cross country and track and field at Springfield College. He helped mentor two distance athletes to All-America honors and saw four runners compete in the NCAA Championships in cross country and track and field.

In 2012, he helped lead the men's cross country team to a sixth place finish at the NCAA Division III East Region Championship, its highest ever placement at the event and just the sixth top-10 team finish for the Pride since reclassifying to D-III prior to the 1996 season.

As a student-athlete, he ran four seasons of cross country as well as indoor and outdoor track at Eastern Connecticut State University. In 2009 he earned indoor All New-England honors, running the lead leg of the distance medley relay, helping to set a school record. Additionally, he broke the ECSU record in the indoor mile with a 4:37.2 clocking.

Noheimer is a 2010 graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University with a BSEd in physical education while minoring in health and coaching. He earned a MEd in Physical Education with a concentration in Advanced Level Coaching from Springfield in 2013.
