Maranatha Baptist University Men's Cross Country

Steinbart received the title of head coach for the mens and womens cross country teams in 2013. After a 3rd place finish by the men and 4th place finish by the women in 2013, both teams set their sights on trying to win a National Title. That dream became a reality in 2014 as the Mens team won first place and the Womens team took 2nd place at Nationals. Steinbart was also awarded the NCCAA DII Mens Coach of the Year Award. 2015 proved to be another exciting year as the Mens team repeated their performance with another National Title win with a 60 point lead and the Womens team took a disappointing third place, just five points behind the second place team. Steinbart was again awarded the NCCAA DII Mens Coach of the Year Award. Steinbart, a 2010 graduate of Maranatha who now resides in Watertown, Wisconsin, participates in multiple races every year. In 2015, she completed her first marathon and is currently training for her second along with her first triathlon, where she is hoping to qualify for the 2016 Age-Group Triathlon Nationals. She participated in the 2015 March to November Race Series in Watertown, WI where she finished 2nd overall. Steinbart also works in the athletic department as the Administrative Assistant. She is currently working on her Masters degree in Sports Coaching with an emphasis in Personal Training and she is a certified USATF Level 1 Track & Field Coach.
