Bulling Takes The Wheel

— USTFCCCA and staff reports

As of today, Dr. Ted Bulling, a six-time national coach of the year at Nebraska Wesleyan University, is President of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Board of Directors. Selected by the USTFCCCA membership last December, Bulling — who replaces South Carolina's Curtis Frye — is the first NCAA Division III coach to head the organization's board.

"To be selected by my peers as the next President of the USTFCCCA is a humbling experience," said Dr. Bulling. "I look forward to the challenges and opportunities of providing leadership for the 7,700 coaches involved in the association. It is exciting to work with track & field and cross country coaches who are passionate about our sport and even though we already have the greatest sport in the world, want to make it even better."

As President, Bulling is tasked to lead the organization's Board of Directors. The Board has representatives from each program membership division within the USTFCCCA (NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division III), as well as an at-large member to represent the organization's non-program membership division members. In all, 94 percent of all NCAA track & field programs are represented within the organization.

In addition, new officers were seated as presidents of their respective sport and divisions, including Barry Harwick of Dartmouth (Division I cross country) and Ron Mann of Louisville (Division I track & field).
