Duke University Men's Track

Linnenbrink works primarily with Duke's men's and women's throwers while also overseeing the officials and volunteers that help run the Duke track & field meets at Morris Williams Stadium. Linnenbrink helped guide Dukes throws program in 2016. Michael Foley set a new outdoor school record in the hammer throw with a mark of 195-5 (59.56) and Thomas Lang received second team All-ACC accolades in the javelin, and was named ACC Outdoor Performer of the Week (Apr. 19). Four women and seven men qualified for the ACC Championships, and Lang (javelin), Stephen Boals (shot put) and Christine Streisel (javelin) qualified for the NCAA Outdoor East Preliminary Round.  The 2015 season was a successful campaign for Linnenbrink, helping both Thomas Lang (mens javelin) and Erica Brand (womens discus) reach the NCAA Outdoor Championships, highlighted by Lang garnering first team All-America honors with a sixth-place performance. Under Linnenbrinks tutelage, the Blue Devil corps set or reset four of the 12 throwing records and combined for 19 event wins during the 2015 indoor and outdoor seasons, including a second consecutive outdoor ACC title for Lang in the javelin. The Blue Devil throwing program continues to perform at a high level with Linnenbrink at the helm. In 2012, the throwing program had one of its best performances in school history, including sophomore Michelle Anumba accomplishing the task of being the first Duke female thrower to earn first team All-America honors.  Under Linnenbrinks direction, four throwers qualified for the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship: Anumba (shot put), Michael Barbas (shot put), Erica Brand (discus) and Andrea Hopkins (javelin).  Also in the outdoor season, Anumba (shot put) and Shannon Sullivan (javelin) finished first at the ACC Championships in their respective events while Barbas (shot put), Brand (discus) and Hopkins (javelin) earned All-ACC honors for finishing in the top three in their respective events. Throughout his Duke tenure, Linnenbrink has guided four Duke throwers to a combined six All-America selections, helped five Blue Devils capture a total of seven conference crowns and has seen 15 student-athletes claim 27 All-ACC accolades.

Additionally, the Notre Dame top-10 lists were radically altered in almost every throwing event under his direction with his student-athletes claiming 10 top-10 efforts on the mens side and a staggering 26 top-10 performances on the womens side. As a member of Notre Dames staff, he was part of five BIG EAST Coaching Staffs of the Year - 2003 & 2005 mens indoor, 2003 & 2006 mens outdoor and 2006 womens indoor.
