WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue vice president and athletics director Mike Bobinski announced the promotion of Norbert Elliott to head coach of the Boilermakers’ track & field/cross country program Thursday.
“Based on the dramatic improvement and recent success of our program, it made great sense to look first within our own staff for our next head coach,” Bobinski said. “In Norbert Elliott, we have a proven and talented coach who has been instrumental in the recruitment and development of many of our most successful student-athletes. Norbert is a quality person with tremendous character, and he brings experience as a former head coach, a top-level assistant at nationally successful programs, and as an Olympic and World Championships coach. I am excited for him to lead our program.”
Elliott has been at Purdue for six years, most recently serving as associate head coach since July of 2015, working with the sprinters, hurdlers, horizontal jumpers and relay teams. https://purduesports.com/news/2018/7/5/norbert-elliott-promoted-to-head-track-field-coach.aspx#.Wz6Y8Xzc3k0.facebook
