With Jones' guidance, Huber reset no fewer than four Plattsburgh State records (indoor 60-meter dash, indoor 200-meter dash, outdoor 100-meter dash and outdoor 200-meter dash) en route to becoming one of the fastest women in all of Division III. Huber claimed the 200-meter dash title at the SUNYAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships, producing a time of 24.43 seconds to earn All-SUNYAC First Team recognition. Thanks to her 200 time - and a runner-up finish in the 100-meter dash - Huber competed in both events at the 2013-14 NCAA Division III Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Jones was instrumental in the development of standout decathlete Ben Depo as well as middle distance specialist Amanda Schermerhorn - both of whom made appearances at the 2013 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships in La Crosse, Wis. Under the tutelage of Jones, Depo became the new school record holder in the indoor heptathlon at the ECAC Championships on March 2, 2013. Schermerhorn reset no less than three Plattsburgh State records (indoor 1,000-meter run, outdoor 800-meter run and outdoor 1,500-meter run) through the course of the 2012-13 regular season before making the field in the 1,500-meter run at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. During the 2011 indoor season, Jones led both the women's and men's programs to the NCAA Championship's. Ryan Millar set a personal record in his first ever appearance at the National Championships. On the women's side, Jones led the team to a seventh place finish in the National Championships. Stefanie Braun led the team, winning All-American honors in the process. Jones coached seven players to All-Region honors in 2011. Millar and Justin Harrington received nods on the men's side, while Braun, Julia Warren, Brittany Trahan, Kelley Driscoll and Amanda Schermerhorn received honors on the women's side. Braun was also named Regional Athlete of the Year Prior to Plattsburgh, Jones was a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Albany where he had a successful four-year athletic career with the NCAA Division I Great Danes.
