Penn State Abington Men's Cross Country

Rodriguez is the Head Coach of the Penn State Abington men's and womens cross country teams. He has extensive domestic and international running experience. He attended Allegheny College, where he ran cross country and indoor and outdoor track for the Gators for three seasons. After graduation, he competed in road races ranging from 5K to half marathons, as well as the decathlon and many other track events.

With the above expectations, great things happen for everyone. Aside from coaching, Jose has been a part of the Penn State Abington community for more than 18 years where he is the Director of Intercultural Affairs at Penn State Abington in which he is responsible for infusing diversity in the academic curriculum and establishing an open communication with the student body and the administrators at Penn State Abington.
