Cleveland State University Women's Track

Jason Hudson will begin his eighth season at the helm of the Cleveland State cross country team during the 2025 campaign, serving as the Head Coach Cross Country/Track & Field. During Hudson’s tenure with the Vikings, Cleveland State has set program records on both the 5K and 6K courses, paced by 2021 senior Anna Brandt who became the first Viking to be a three-time All-Horizon League honoree. Academics have also been a priority during Hudson's time at Cleveland State, as the cross country and track & field teams have combined for 86 Dean's List honors over the last three years, while three Vikings have combined for nine Horizon League All-Academic Team nods.  Under Hudson's guidance, the cross country team has also continued its strong history of CSU Valedictorians, as Anna Brandt was named the 2021 Spring Valedictorian for the College of Education & Human Services while also earning the Horizon League's Cecil N. Coleman Medal of Honor. Hudson came to Cleveland State prior to the 2018 season with over 20 years of coaching experience, including stops at Oberlin High School, Oberlin College, College of Wooster and Case Western Reserve. Hudson spent 12 seasons on the coaching staff at Oberlin College, working in a multitude of roles with both the cross country and track and field teams. During his time at Oberlin, Hudson mentored hundreds of All-Conference performers and over 40 conference champions, while also having a handful of student-athletes qualify for nationals and earn All-America honors. In addition, Hudson helped Oberlin capture seven North Coast Athletic Conference titles in women’s cross country, while making six appearances in the NCAA Championship. Hudson got his start in coaching at the College of Wooster where he was the assistant track and field and cross country coach, before serving a stint at Case Western Reserve as the head women’s cross country coach and assistant track and field coach. Hudson has also been involved with other aspects of university life, serving as the Director of Wellness and Director of Student-Athlete Services – both of which came at Oberlin College. A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Hudson was a four-year letterwinner at the College of Wooster in cross country and track and field, earning All-Conference honors on three occasions. During his time with the Fighting Scots, Hudson was part of a conference champion 4x400 relay team, set a school record in the 3200 relay, and was part of a conference champion cross country team. Hudson graduated from Wooster with a bachelor of arts in psychology and later earned a master of education in community counseling from Kent State University.

Chuck Voss returns for his 26th season as the head coach of Cleveland State volleyball during the 2025 campaign, looking to continue CSU’s trend of being a perennial powerhouse in the Horizon League. Throughout his tenure at Cleveland State, Voss has guided the Vikings to five Horizon League Regular Season titles and six Horizon League Tournament crowns. Voss has also led Cleveland State to nine 20-win seasons, and enters the 2025 campaign as the program’s all-time winningest coach with 433 career victories with the Vikings. Voss, who is a six-time Horizon League Coach of the Year honoree, has led Cleveland State to 19 winning seasons during his tenure, including a stretch of 10-straight winning campaigns from 2009 through 2018. During his 25-year stint at Cleveland State, Voss has mentored 32 all-league selections, 23 all-newcomer team selections, 13 all-region honorees, and seven All-Americans. Voss has also led 11 Vikings to 14 major Horizon League accolades over the years, most recently mentoring Laken Voss to Newcomer of the Year honors during the 2022 season. Under Voss’ guidance, the Vikings have excelled in the classroom as well, earning the Game Plan/AVCA Team Academic Award five times, while also being honored at Cleveland State’s annual John Konstantinos Athletic Academic Honors Luncheon, picking up the ‘Best of the Best Award’ following the 2007 and 2008 seasons for maintaining the highest GPA among the department’s then 16 teams. Voss, who enters the 2025 season with a record of 433-303 at Cleveland State, became the first coach in program history to record 350 career wins during the 2018 campaign, and is the only active coach in the Horizon League to achieve the feat at their current school. Voss’ continued dedication to the Cleveland State volleyball program has led the Vikings to become one of the top teams in the state of Ohio, and a Horizon League Championship contender year-in and year-out. Over the last 18 seasons the Vikings have made six NCAA Tournament appearances, and have garnered national recognition to earn neutral site matches during their 2007 and 2016 NCAA Tournament bids.

Throughout this 17-year stretch, Voss has turned Cleveland State into a prominent name among Division I volleyball teams. The climb to be a championship contender year-after-year was not an easy one though. When Voss arrived in Cleveland to take over the program in 2000, the Vikings had not enjoyed a winning season in 17 years and were coming off a year in which they won just eight matches and were just 3-9 in the league. But that did not deter Voss, who guided CSU to a respectable 19-36 mark during his first two seasons at the helm. It was in 2002 that Voss really began to show what he could do on the sidelines, leading CSU to its first winning season (18-13) in 19 years. Since then, Voss has been at the helm for 14 winning seasons with the Vikings – making Cleveland State one of just two current Horizon League teams to have at least 14 winning seasons during this span. Voss recorded another program first during the 2004 season, leading the Vikings to the Horizon League Championship match for the first time in program history. Over the next 14 seasons, Voss has guided the Vikings back to the title match eight times and has been part of five championship teams during this stretch (2007, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017) - becoming one of just two active coaches with multiple league titles under their name. Voss came to Cleveland State after serving as an assistant coach at Missouri for three seasons. While in Columbia, he was responsible for recruiting, travel planning, preparing scouting reports, academics, camps and other various day-to-day coaching duties. While his recruiting efforts didn’t necessarily show up in the win column during his three-year tenure, Missouri went 24-7 in 2000 (Voss’ first year in Cleveland), won 14 matches in the always-tough Big XII, was nationally ranked for part of the year and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history - all with the players that Voss helped sign. Prior to his stint at Missouri, Voss served as the head coach at Mount Mercy College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa from 1995-96. While there, he improved the team’s record from 10-21 to 23-15, earning 1996 NAIA Midwest Classic Conference Coach of the Year honors. A 1994 graduate of Ohio State with a degree in physical education, Voss was a two-year starter as a setter and a captain on the men’s varsity volleyball team. He ranks seventh all-time at OSU with 2,836 assists and fifth with a career average of 13.13 assists per game. He was one of only 48 participants invited to both the 1990 and ‘91 United States Olympic Festivals. After graduation, Voss got his coaching career started by spending a year as a student assistant for the Buckeye women’s squad under head coach Jim Stone. Voss and his wife Margo have two daughters, London (25) and Laken (21), and two sons, Sterling (30) and Denver (27). The family resides in Amherst, Ohio.
