Cares About AcademicsCreates A Great Team CulturePositive Person

Coach Bob emphasizes long-term growth and competitive excellence across a broad range of events. His teams consistently produce school records, conference titles, and strong academic results, demonstrating a balanced focus on performance and student success. The athletes we met frequently praise his technical knowledge and supportive coaching style, which has helped elevate Loyola’s program in recent seasons. The culture he fosters values both classroom achievement above everything else. It was all good interactions throughout the recruitment process.

Bob is an incredible coach who gets the most out of his athletes. Loyola didn't realize what they had in him and it's a shame that the program is moving away from jumps, sprints, hurdles, and throws. It's incredible what Bob did with no track. He will be missed! Any program that gets him will be getting the best kept secret in track.
