Dickinson State University Men's Track

Shroyer has worked diligently to grow the size and quality of the distance program. During the 2015-2016 campaign, Shroyer guided the Mens and Womens Cross Country teams to new heights as both teams won the North Star Athletic Association (NSAA) Cross Country Championship title and received an automatic berth to the NAIA National Cross Country Championships in Charlotte. It was the first ever conference title for the womens program and the first conference title for the men since 2011. Shroyer was named the NSAA Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2015. During the 2016 outdoor track season, four athletes qualified for NAIA OTF Championships in the marathon under Shroyers tutelage. Brittney Grove set a new school record in the 26.2 mile distance and in 2015 Eddie Meneses received All-American honors in the marathon, while setting a new school record as well. I am excited about our team this year. We only graduated three men and two women from our program in 2015. We have a great core group of returners and a strong class of new recruits coming in this fall. I am excited to see what the season holds as we look to repeat as NSAA Champions, says Coach Shroyer.
