Georgia Tech Women's Track

Drosky, a two-time All-American and five-time track All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer, has been head women's coach since the 1995-96 season. He has been a part of the Yellow Jacket coaching staff since 1987, when he took a graduate assistant position while working towards a master's degree in management. After completing his graduate studies in 1989, Drosky became a full-time assistant for the 1990 season and took over the helm of the cross country program in '91. Prior to earning a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial management in '87, Drosky was one of the most decorated middle distance performers in Tech history. He competed for the Yellow Jackets from 1985-87, serving as team captain three times. He holds the Tech school record in both the 1000 (2:22.78) and 1500 (3:43.37) meter indoor events, and is a member of Tech's outdoor record-holding 4x1600-meter relay (16:32.98). Drosky earned All-America honors twice at the NCAA Championships, finishing sixth in the indoor mile in 1986 and 12th in the outdoor 1500 meters in 1987. He was also the 1987 ACC champion in the indoor mile. Following his distinguished career, Drosky was inducted into the Georgia Tech Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996. Since taking the reins of the women's program, Drosky has guided the Yellow Jackets to seven top-three finishes at the ACC Indoor Championships, including the program's first ACC title at the 2002 indoor ACC meet. It was just the second ACC title by any women's program at Georgia Tech and snapped nine consecutive indoor titles by North Carolina. Drosky was named Indoor ACC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career (1999). The Jackets posted a combined nine top-three finishes at the indoor and outdoor ACC meets since 2001. Tech scored a program-best 146 points at the outdoor meet in 2004. Nationally, Drosky led the Yellow Jackets to their highest NCAA outdoor finish at the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Championships, finishing in a tie for 15th place in Austin, Texas. Tech posted a second top-25 finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships, finishing in a tie for 21st place in Fayetteville, Ark. The Yellow Jackets posted a pair of top-25 finishes in `05, repeating its 21st-place indoor finish and finishing 18th at the outdoor meet. Drosky has led Tech to a total of 10 top-30 finishes, including two top-15 finishes at the NCAA Championships. Chaunte Howard became the first Tech athlete to win three consecutive national titles, claiming the NCAA high jump crown at the indoor and outdoor NCAA Championships in `04, and winning the crown again at the 2005 NCAA Indoor Championships. Howard became the first women's athlete to qualify for the Summer Olympic Games, finishing second at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials in the high jump to stamp her ticket to Athens, Greece. On a rare off day, Howard finished in a tie for 28th place at the XXVIII Olympiad. She turned professional in the summer of 2005, after her junior season, and went on to win a Silver medal in the high jump at the 2005 IAAF World Championships, in Helsinki, Finland. In addition to his mentoring of the women's program, Drosky has also coached several of the nation's top men's distance performers. Headlining that list is David Krummenacker, who won the 1997 and `98 NCAA indoor 800-meter national titles, still holds four different school records and was named the 1997 and `98 ACC Indoor and Outdoor Championship MVP while at Tech. Under Drosky, Krummenacker won 12 individual ACC titles and captured the U.S. 800-meter national title in 2001. He has gone on to win a two more U.S. national titles in the 800 (2002-03) and captured a World indoor 800 title in 2003. Krummenacker ranks as the fastest American-meter doubler of all-time and set the American record in the indoor 1000 meters in 2002. Brendon Mahoney, a 2004 graduate of Tech, ranks among Drosky's finest proteges. He was a three-time All-American and finished seventh in the mile at the 2002 NCAA Indoor Championships. He also finished eighth in the 800 at the 2002 U.S. National Outdoor Championships, a race won by Krummenacker. In 2004, Mahoney won ACC titles in the indoor 800 and mile, and the outdoor 800 and 1500 meter races en route to being named ACC Performer of the Year for both the indoor and outdoor seasons. He went on to earn All-America honors in the 1500 at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Drosky's top women's competitors include Tech assistant coach Becky Megesi and former standout Renee Metivier. Megesi garnered All-America honors with an eighth-place finish in the 1500 meters in 1999 and was a member of the seventh-place distance medley team in 2000. She won the ACC outdoor 1500-meter title in both 1998 and `99 and qualified for the NCAA Championship meet in both the 800 and 1500 meters in 1999, as well as the 800 in 2000. Metivier had an outstanding 2002, becoming the first Jacket to earn All-America honors in cross country, indoor and outdoor track. During the indoor season, she earned that status in the 3000 and 5000 meters. She also claimed All-America accolades with an eighth-place finish in the 5000 at the outdoor NCAA meet. Metivier now holds four school records. Beth Mallory also earned All-America honors under Drosky, placing sixth in the mile at the 1996 NCAA Indoor Championships. In his career, Drosky has coached his athletes to three national titles as Krummenacker won two in the 800 and Conrad Nichols won one in the 4x400m relay. His athletes have earned 65 NCAA All-American honors, 64 ACC championships and 142 All-ACC accolades. In cross country, Drosky has also led the team to success in one of the nation's top cross country conferences. He has guided the women's team to a pair of NCAA Championship appearances (2000, `01), with a top finish of 26th in '01. That same season, he coached the women's team to their first-ever NCAA South Region crown, and was named South Region Coach of the Year. The Jackets' men's team also enjoyed a program-best finish of fourth at the 2001 regional championships. His top ACC finishes came in 1994 with both teams finishing third at the conference championships in Atlanta. Drosky has mentored three cross country All-Americans and seven NCAA individual qualifiers. Additionally, he has guided Tech runners to 15 All-ACC and 34 all-region performances. Metivier enjoyed the top season in Tech cross country history in 2001, finishing second at the NCAA Championships, winning the NCAA South Regional title and placing second at the ACC Championships.
